Welcome Mat

The ongoing search

for intelligent life

in the universe

should start at home,

in our dumbing-down Earth,

where we’re in desperate need

of solutions to our problems.

Obviously, the scientists

broadcasting our whereabouts

and our level of civilization

expect benevolent aliens

to make first contact.

What if it’s Pizarro E.T.,

and his conquistadors

seeking treasury and glory,

or whatever they lust for

and it probably ain’t Earth girls,

from the primitive nations

more concerned with killing each other

then resisting invasion from outer space.
