'' Ten Light Years West And First On The Right ''
If the aliens are just a millennia ahead,
It's possible we could all end up dead,
If they're anything like Humans it has to be said,
They'll be more than up for a fight.
As Humans have evolved the killings have got worse,
Mayhem and destruction is what we disburse,
On every life form we are truly a curse,
The extinctions are now way out of sight.
What will we be like in a thousand years?
What we're managing now would bring you to tears,
Evolution will confirm our worst fears,
On the universe we are but a blight.
Will they be more intelligent and violent too?
No conscience or worry they'll see their task through
They'll take delight in causing us ado,
In fact it will probably excite.
Their technology and weaponry will be more advanced,
Their desire to destroy could well be enhanced,
Could we be their boil that needs to be lanced,
If that's so we'll be saying goodnight.
Sending probes with messages invading their space,
Interfering with them is an utter disgrace,
But I'm afraid that's the nature of the Human Race,
If truth be told we are not very bright.
What's the reason for sending personal fliers?
We might as well send astronautical town criers,
If they're that intelligent they'll know we're all liars,
For that we will suffer their might.
We've fought countless wars throughout every nation,
Our efforts at peace get lost in translation,
All due to a breakdown in communication,
We don't know the meaning of contrite.
Too much information has been placed in their hands,
Are they a federation which contains many brands?
Will they wreak destruction across all our lands?
What if it's their ire we incite.
Yet our scientists have told them where we reside,
Now they know we have nowhere to hide,
To get here they won't even need a guide,
