ancient astronauts (archives)

when we surveyed the planet earth

from deep in outer space

we found that she was giving birth

to you — the human race

and when we came down from above

to teach you right from wrong

and show you that the way of love

is how to get along

you said you needed to be free

to learn things on your own

and so we listened to your plea

and left you all alone

but then, alas, when we returned

we found, much to our horror

that what the human race had learned

was weaponry and war

so now we watch you from afar

and patiently we wait–

perhaps we’ll wish upon a star

while you decide your fate
