W.W.A.D. ?

By mysticventures



If they seen our culture of violence

and cruelty

and hate


If they seen our culture of indifference

to pollution

to extinction


If they seen our culture of greed

and envy

and sloth


If they seen our culture of intolerance

to freedom

to love


If they seen our culture of gluttony

and abuse

and neglect


If they seen our culture of lies

to truth

to spirit


Yes, I wonder ..... WHAT WOULD ALIENS DO?

    At least it wasn't written with random caps. ;) ;) I too was expecting a political rant, but with the twist, it makes one consider the insanity of humanity instead. Nice!

    What a wonderful twist at the end... I was really afraid there was going to be some thinly veiled political message in there. very well done!
