~another message to earthlings~

~another message to earthlings~

your isolation continues
to damage the good sense
that was bestowed upon you -

a gift from a presence
far greater than your mind
shall ever comprehend

only because your insistence
that the endless wheel of life
must never pause

in the ceaseless search for meaning
that lies but a breath from you
in the deep beyond of Truth.

you whine and moan like children
when your foolish foundation
of economic stupidity begins to crumble,

before your eyes your dreams collapse
as you wonder and question what it was
that brought this on while all along

you saw this coming as your greed
multiplied and grew more quickly
erasing the Truth of Wisdom over matter.

this poison of greed and corruption
you allowed has bitten it's fangs of evil
deep into your needy and jealous mind

delivering a message of doubt and fear
throughout your weakened bodily system
while the life of the sky, the land and sea

continue as they should without
that which you deem as necessary
to your so-called selfish well-being.

you feel as if you deserve more
than this one planet that we've
put you upon many of your years ago

to regain the wisdom that was passed
to you from your original face light years
away in the dark and dusty chambers

of your own collective memories
that you refuse to this day to seek
in favor of child-like dreams

that have become wicked nightmares
that trouble your sleep with visions
of deceit, death and destruction

which are those more recent memories
acquired once you achieved
the art of written communications

that have preserved both ideals and fears
for your own future generations
that have been conditioned into believing...

accepting as the truth these words written
by improbable hands of gods and prophets
that only the strongly imagined among you

claim to have witnessed and obeyed
under the fear and condemnations
of an eternal fire and brimstone life

awaiting you should you choose
not to follow this path of self-destruction
assuring your kind a continued imprisonment

upon this one susceptible planet
verging on the precipice of destruction
by forces which you cannot halt.

may your prayers to the deities
that your have chosen to lead you
across these rivers of doom

be lulled into a state of ignorance
so your cries and screams will not
trouble them as they silently weep

for your souls forever caught in
this web that you alone have chosen
to weave across your planet

only to catch those dreams that
keep you far removed from Truth
that was promised to make you free

Quite the juvenile image you've dreamed up here, Henry... are you really 53 years old or is that a dream, too?

Mostly, I keep my posts on the same level as what I'm responding to.

You set the level, arranged the stage, with your opening post (aliens giving humanity the middle finger).

Promise? I suppose we should be thankful for small favors.

I assume you are not aware that this piece is a work of fiction.

for anyone who feels he should flip the finger at a fictional alien is a person with no sense of imagination at all. that's a shame, henry... a real shame. for you to feel you must come to the rescue towards a fictional piece of work indicates how insecure and even small minded you really are, don't you think?

"this piece is a work of fiction"

Bad fiction, boring fiction, predictable fiction.

'You humans are greedy, short-sighted, and violent, and you've doomed yourselves.'

That's what you shoulda posted...short, sweet, to the point (and mostly true).

But, nooooooo...you had to drone on (in two threads, mind you)...you post poop but I'm the bad guy for pokin' fun.

As the Lady said: "What a world! What a world!"

True, as long as we stay confined to this friggin' rock.

We shoulda been on Mars, in the flesh, thirty years ago.

Our Moon colony, right now, ought to be threatenin' seccesion.

Instead, we're all crammed together in one place...breathin' room is in short supply...we need to go, get out, move around...we need distance (from the cradle, and from each other).

I wanna dig pitchblende out of an asteroid on my 140th birthday.

I wanna see what's doin' in the Oort when I hit 200.

But, jeez (jizz) I don't wanna live that long if I gotta do it 'here', surrounded by all of 'you'.

No offense.

Great stuff, of course I would have stayed away from the religion references. But for all those that believe, it's complete.

Yeah but it's been mostly true since Malthus.

Nah! It's self-absorbed tosh as if he wants to save us he should be working towards the cornucopia machine or promoting the Orion space-craft rather than half-arsed maudlin poetry on a backwoods philosophy forum. :)
