Watch the skies

I hope when N A S A find life out there
Its much different than life down here
Cause' imagine a world just like our own
Why it would fill my heart with fear

Cause' what if they were more advanced than us
But they needed somewhere else to stay
Their planet was dying and they needed ours
So they zapped us with a deathly killing ray

'The fiends,' the last of us did cry
They've betrayed our kindness and trust
But their planet had no more use for them
And there was no room left here for us

Their world was dying from Greenhouse gas
A world they'd abused for much too long
But the coupe de grace that killed it off
Was the fallout from a nuclear bomb

So the search for life near distant stars
Will no doubt go on each day
But until we sort our own planet out
We should look the other way

Interesting perspective, but perhaps we need to separate fact from fiction instead of playing tug of war...

Be always safe,
