I have often wondered why
If aliens truly do exist
Why don't they just
Drop by.

But then I look around me
At the scrabbling,babblings of those on the boundary
And I see
Why.

The reason that aliens don't drop from the sky
Is not because they're so very shy
It's because we're all full of it
In the pit of our own making
Taking what we can
What kind of man or alien would stop by and see
We,
Who are callous,indifferent and greedy
I do not think that anyone wants to see
Anything that needy.

So we'll stay alone
Yet the universe is burning with
Species that are learning
It all.

And even I fall into the trap
Calling Aliens,species
Is just krap.
That might be why
Aliens do not call in
And instead
Wave
Goodbye.
