When the stars fall
and the ocean roars
will you survive?
When the earthquake kills
and the moon turns red
will you be in the sky?
We lived.
When we feared aliens
as we had never been so far
from home.
And we feared our own kind
as we were too weak
to defend ourselves.
We adapted.
We used the technology
God had thought he destroyed
and we became new.
But we still feared ourselves
because we saw what was out there
and it knew we didn’t belong..
We killed.
We searched for a way
to become one with the strongest
and to test on the weakest.
They were inferior
as we viewed ourselves
as the superior.
We closed our eyes.
Because if we opened them
we would realize we defied God
and turned our back on the Earth.
we would see that as we search
for our new home
we are the aliens.
