Poetic-Verses
'' We Had Better Beware ''
The year of our lord nineteen sixty nine,
We are about to berth on the moon,
As the Eagle landed all seemed fine,
Mans footprints would appear quite soon.
As Neil and Buzz placed their feet on the dust,
They could not believe their eyes,
Just to their left on the lunar crust,
An alien craft gave them such a surprise.
They informed Houston they were not alone,
As the 'bogey'' watched their every move,
Terror and helplessness was attached to their tone,
Not knowing if the aliens would approve.
Houston instructed them to stay well away,
No contact either physical or of sight,
They were ordered not to cause any affray,
Or their ire the astronauts could ignite.
Warned by the aliens this is a step too far,
You were given a world on which to live,
On travelling any further there is now a bar,
Human destruction we will not forgive.
The Apollo programme went to seventeen,
Further visitors were all told the same,
Stay well away we say what we mean,
We're no longer playing along with your game.
Apollo eighteen NASA claim didn't exist,
Yet these astronauts all disappeared,
No trace of their bodies yet still they insist,
These allegations mean their legacy is being smeared.
Though they'll never admit contact was made,
It's the reason moon landings were halted,
Future lunar missions the aliens forbade,
Because on pledges the Human Race defaulted.
If we were under threat we would go to war,
Our planet is the home we were given,
It's our arrogance and deceit the aliens abhor,
They can see it's with greed we are driven.
They are not aggressive but they'll fight to protect,
These past lessons need to be learned,
With their reasonable demands we need to connect,
Or their Respect will never be earned.
If we don't face the facts we are not unique,
That there's an abundance of life out there,
By ignoring their warnings it is havoc we'll wreak,
From what is known,
' We Had Better Beware '
