The Search For Intelligent Life

Scanning the sky, searching for intelligent life
     seeking creatures who wish to live, not die

   Finding earth, advanced civilizations gape in disbelief
     ~ avert their eyes, stricken with grief

There’s two options here… ‘reverse thrust’ or ‘walkover’. While we’re too busy fighting each other, those aliens could walk straight in through the back door.

'Walkover' sounds too much like what we saw on October 7, from earthly aliens...

They would avert their eyes, stricken, so sad, so true.
