They Came For Us - Act 1
Through out the world the skies turned to black
Our oceans and seas were in turmoil from slack
The clouds grew stormy as the rains lashed down
Worldwide monsoon, many areas in drown
On CNN, many reporters are live
This phenomena of nature fills our skies
When suddenly a news flash appears on our screen
Lights through the clouds are in worldwide seen
Massive spaceships fill the clearing skies
As the world looks on in despair and surprise
They slowly descend as an opening appears
Shuttles so many, is this the start of our fears
Above us they hover as still as can be
These crafts from out there as we await and see
A column of light beams down to earth
In radius so large in sunlight girth
As i look down on the streets people are holding their ears
They all look like their screaming, eyes in tears
Then suddenly they stand like soldiers to attention
As i witness this scene i am too dumb to mention
I look down and wonder at the views that i see
As it suddenly dawns why its not happening to me
I am deaf and dumb, and have been from birth
An affliction till now, it now seems so worth
The shuttles that hovered, now all appear to land
Their doors are now opening is this what they planned
Down on the streets they all look as if tranced
As they turn to the shuttles in shuffling advance
By the hundreds they disappear into their dark
Taking of when full, beside the light they embark
I watch this unfold many many times again
Is this the end of us, humans earth reign
This tragic event goes on for days
As our population streams i look on in dismay
What can i do where do i turn
Do they take what they can, and to where and return
