The Martians Have Spoken
Yes, the Martians have spoken,
What an incredible disappointment.
It far outweighed our willingness to forgive.
True they were small and unclothed.
Reminiscent of the Africans we saved from savagery,
Except for the “small” part.
We could accept their limited English,
Or the ridiculous native mumbo jumbo,
But the barbaric reception was too much.
We arrived in peace, seeking only knowledge---
Of where the oil and gold were stored,
And what weaponry they possessed.
It was surely a most cataclysmic day,
To find, after all our troubles, they were skeptical,
Questioning our intentions. It made me weep,
There they stood, a dozen Martians,
Holding a crudely hand printed paper banner, that said:
“Get the fuck off our planet”.
