Is there reading between
the abstruse lines of the *other*?
Can we guess at the secrets
with which they are blessed?
Or's it curses encountered
they'd sooner be shed of—
of existence they're tired
and "living" detest?
Could the tree of their empire
be rooted in tyranny?
Is it terror they seek to instill
sowing infamy?
What is their purpose?
Why do they haunt?
What are their reasons?
What do they want?
What do they take?
How do they live?
What is their work?
What can they give?
...What do they do?
It's all such a tangle.
How are they recompensed—
what is their angle?!
Perhaps they're a mirror
held back at ourselves!
We see in them us and
it's us we dispel!
Dispelled by abduction—
it's what we'd expect!
Why, we'd do it to them!
...It is that they detect!
You'd have to admit
that they're nicer than we'd be.
We'd treat 'em like bugs,
or at best, a prized queen bee.
We've done it before,
our history's filled
with examples of cruelty,
to those we then kill:
persons made subject to
"short sighted" judgments;
those deemed unworthy
of compassioned abutment?
We've sliced them and diced them
for simple percentage;
"exploited, used up"
we've raped their incentives!

...No, they're giving better than they'd get
—taking any odds, that bet—
any "disrespect" could be a kind of justice.
I mean, consider all our crimes;
...we let our children starve and die!
We should pray we don't serve time
for our injustice!!
If the ET comes to you...
...were you learning? Are you clued?
Don't waste your time in horror...
...or disgust!
Is there method in their "madness,"
or are you crippled by your sadness...
because exploded, friend...
is that which held your trust?
Don't bemoan their nameless tactics
or mysterious detachment,
it's your culture!
That’s the one to keep you down!
The ET's are a shadow
from the whole of what's unknown...
too, might likely usurp culture...
by putting smiles over frowns!
See, it's your culture making tears,
it's your culture breeding fear!
It's your culture at the root of mocking laughter.
It sets the tone for your derision...
and it's culture's lack of vision
that is truly your tormentor and detractor.
Like, define for me "success,"
and an easy, spot on, guess
would be space flight
for a species or a race.
Live in structures WE enjoin
between the stars that WE employ,
and have humankind extant
across an awesome... "timeless" space!
Note our lack of this "success,"
and further note profound distress,
as we poison our environs; I'll be frank...
...we are hanging by a thread;
a bug or rock could strike us dead;
we are by no means successful;
you might take that to the bank...
If we want ET respect?
We should deserve it, I suspect!
We could clean up, first, our act,
right here on Earth!
We should end our petty tyrannies,
be empowered individually!
Be a synergy much greater... than we were!
See, the individual's now disdained,
a manipulated brain
programmed by 'the man'
to do his bidding.
Though the day will come, and soon,
then we'll find we've got more room...
as the multi-verse unfolds
...it will be fitting!
