Just in time?
There's a hole in the sky I'm watching,
a bright light emanates from its core.
A part of the Lord's second coming?
Or an alien visit in store?
The gap in the sky grew much larger,
the hole's center light started to spin.
The people gathered, dropped to their knees,
absolution sought for all their sin.
From out of the hole a craft floated,
a pulsating blue light lit the top.
Energy thick in the atmosphere,
then the ship slowly started to drop.
The field down the street used for softball
was the place chosen by them to land.
Appearing, they looked at us strangely,
vibrant eyes you could see had a plan.
Could their goal be world domination?
Or perhaps bodies that they could snatch?
It's unclear, but fear started to grow,
what nefarious plan had they hatched?
Sadness in their eyes was soon noted,
did they come here with no harm intended?
Somehow they made themselves understood,
about war, how their planet ended.
Their world, with care lacking, had ended.
Over time, all their states were at war.
Millions of people needlessly died,
those who lived knew not what it was for.
A warning they said, was their mission,
to tell worlds heading on the same path.
They, an example of what was to come
if continued, a grim aftermath.
Worldwide, events watched as they happened,
the hole closed and the craft disappeared.
A hope there was that our world would change,
that it's only ourselves we should fear.
Those with wisdom then stopped to listen
about this tragedy that befell EARTH.
Armed with a warning, it's never too late,
other worlds would begin a rebirth.
