Beyond the suns, so close to truth,
all this intellect is wasted.
The radio waves transmitting,
must convince the aliens we are idiots,
not capable of cogent coherent thought,
or intellectual reverie.
Singing the praises of bottled water,
and the beauty of the wild life we continue to kill off.
We are sickness to this planet we inhabit.
An anomality...
a cancer giving disease,
packaging everything after it's ruined,
and selling these things to ourselves...
Please kill us all now.
Please save the earth and the animals.
We are capable of love,
but supress and destroy every trace of compassion within one another.
All that's left is selfish hate.
Foolish little islands...
lost to the fact,
that the water and air connects us all.
How do we stop this monster,
before it reaches it's inevitable conclusion?
What's that terrible answer?
The enslavementy of all humanity...
to corporate greed.
We infiltrate them,
we open them up....
and share the meat.
How have humans always survived?
Because no matter how mean the beast,
we are feral clever survivors...
willing to sacrifice more than our own lives for everything.
Once the animal has adapted to that trick...
Terrorism has it's place.
It's a stupid word for desperate souls reaching for sanity,
trying to protect their own values.
It so often gets taken over by interests...
not interested in humanity.
You never kill to preserve life,
you never enslave others for freedom,
you never destroy what you can never ever recreate or make better.
Obvious rules,
so many are a little confused and quite outspoken about it all
they make the squeakiest wheel quite deadly.
How many people in our world die every day now for oil, war, diamonds, and profit?
A large portion of all of them/us.
We've got campaigns against alcohol, cigarettes, and heroine....
but these things don't even begin to approach the numbers killed off by greed.
We are ignorant.
Anyone who can see.
Just slightly outside of our blithering judgements...our arguments most filled with conviction,
spoken by great speakers...who understand nothing....
calling to arms,
to destroy the gullible,
those who don't know the strange truth...
of what we know...
We rarely encompassing the values we claim to propogate.
War should never happen.
It would not exist in the real world.
Not if it were actually controlled by human beings.

When I read this ...
I remember where this world is heading.
But ... there is an inaudible, unseen, untouched songpicturekiss awaiting the resurrected soul. I put all of my hope in the faithfulness of its Love.
Ah. Do not worry Wayne; aliens know we are only humane.

Blessed be, and always write your soul, as you do here with such passion.
