She came from planet Venus
no perfume and no vice
no denial only innocence
not lost in Earth's device
Her eyes saw all the elements
of bitterness and war
Saw pettiness among old friends
What was that fighting for
Saw children lying hungry
in an alleyway today
As men in suits flew by them
without a word to say
Saw men in ragged clothing
eating out of garbage cans
While women of high fashion
passed by without a hand
Saw rats attacking babies
in their cribs in city slums
Saw bullets piercing bodies
never had the brains to run
Saw babies inside dumpsters
tossed away by teenage kids
Only caring 'bout their "happiness"
and not the things they did
Saw fathers beating children
and churches seeking coins
Withholding from all others
who did not come from their loins
She wondered if majority
was truly in the rule
Then why did these things happen
that could only show a fool
A tear was quickly forming
as she had to speed away
To return back to her planet
and report of things our way
So they saw we were not worthy
of the gifts they could bestow
But maybe in a million years
they'll return, you never know
