     A science fiction piece with a message.











 


“From a parchment found amidst some rubble by some Aliens visiting the desolate, lifeless planet called Earth in the year 3025.A.D.

To anyone who may still be alive on finding this,:

" My name is Jonathan Parker and I am or was a recognised Scientist and Poet internationally known for my poetry ,and work in preserving the Earth's Rain Forests ,mostly in which I had warned the world about poisoning the environment  with man made chemicals that are destroying the Planet's fragile Biosphere also I wrote about the potential dangers of amassing weapons of mass destruction in both the Eastern and Western countries

.Even now as I write these lines the Eastern countries are preparing for war against the West, which will be theThird World War on this forsaken planet, which I believe will be the end of all life on this planet, and my only regret is that all the innocent will have to die including the animals.should such an event occur.


The time is now 3.05 pm and its a warm crispy day in October in the year 3000 A.D.

These may be my last words before I perish along with others,for as I dreaded, the latest reports ( about a minute ago,) are now  that  several Missiles are now heading in the direction of the United States !

As I look out of my twelfth storey window, I can see  below several people scrambling in all directions for safety amidst loud screaming.and panic.


Pandemonium has now broken out.! The sirens are starting to blare!

O' God ,Heaven help us All !

The Aliens turned and look at each other and one said sadly," And we had such bright hopes for them, now it's too late !" He shook his head ,took a last look around at the barren land about them,hearing only the soft lapping of the waves caressing the nearby shore, 

They re entered the huge space craft and the captain ordered his pilot to take off.shaking his head in sorrow
