Flying by for another look-see
It has been a century – just my pilot and me;

We come from a planet far far away
It was time to revisit for another Earth survey;

You are a very primitive species – of this there is no doubt
Destroying everything everywhere – on earth & now a space rout;

We travel across the universe – an exciting cosmic ride
Observing, learning & listening – the ultimate scout guides;

Last visit we witnessed millions killed fighting over worthless dirt
Very little has changed just a different kind of hurt;

Your existence is so fragile – mercury rising, ice shelves falling
Wake up earthlings no more gas lighting or stonewalling;

Space travel toes being dipped to observe you’re neighbours
Once thriving with life, be warned or prepare to meet your makers;

We continually learn from science, history and our mistakes
Humans are different – truly nutty as a fruitcake;

You require thousands of breath’s daily for your basic survival
Yet the way you poison you own air - is clearly suicidal;

Burning your planets lungs for commercial gain
We are starting to wonder if evolution gifted humans brain's;

Oceans & rivers cover 70% of your planets surface
Essential for your existence – no longer fit for purpose;

Water levels rising - wildlife destroyed by earths fellow citizens
No concern whatsoever for your current & future minions;

Short-term acclaim & fortune for your environmental villains
One really flew over the cuckoo’s nest - planet earth asylum;                

Poverty - discrimination and prejudice worldwide
Bombs that can **** millions – one huge explosive goodbye;

No idea how to deal with your own man made waste
Breeding & eating animals that should never inhabit the same space;

A global pandemic is not a head scratcher
You welcomed it in with open arms - that’s a simple fact matter;

Many more disasters to come – of this there is no doubt
No lessons learned – war, disease, hunger, fire & drought;

Shared blood confirm you are all sisters & brothers
Yet continue on a mission to destroy one another;

Minimal respect for your fellow **** sapiens
You all evolved from primate’s that’s a fact – we are the only aliens;

An overcrowded planet of several billion
Controlled by a few privileged birth's on a very different mission;

One badly timely meteorite away from Armageddon
There will be no phoenix rising or incarnation;

There is some hope as we see care, love & compassion
On our planet being kind to each other is always in fashion;

We will glide by again in another hundred years
Intelligent advancement - or maybe your species disappeared;

One day we would like to share our significant know how
When you stop destroying your planet – this maybe allowed;
