When the stars fall<\/p>\n
and the ocean roars<\/p>\n
will you survive?<\/p>\n
When the earthquake kills<\/p>\n
and the moon turns red<\/p>\n
will you be in the sky?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We lived.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we feared aliens<\/p>\n
as we had never been so far<\/p>\n

They were inferior<\/p>\n
as we viewed ourselves<\/p>\n
as the superior.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We closed our eyes.<\/p>\n

and turned our back on the Earth.<\/p>\n
we would see that as we search<\/p>\n
for our new home<\/p>\n
we are the aliens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
