Unexpected Company

Come with me my foreign friend

Fresh from outer space

Let me show you all the better things

About the human race

.

Ignore the wars and pestilence

The famine and the droughts

We have so many other things

For us to talk about

.

There’s music and the theater

Sports, tee-vee, and arts

Video games take a lot of time

We play it with our hearts.

.

Let us walk among the fallen trees

And breathe the smoky air

We can stroll along a riverbed

Without the water there.

.

The city is a bustling place

A world made of concrete

Be careful of the food they sell

Not everything is made to eat.

.

Monsanto sprays their chemicals

Which often kills the bees

The food they grow is fat and wide

And brings us to our knees

.

The oceans they are dying

As the seas begin to rise

The orcas are fighting back

Causing boats to be capsized

.

Tell me friend, what brings you here

To this planet full of fun

What’s that you say that brought you here?

You thought this was the sun?

.

How funny that you say such things

Let’s watch the rising tide

Icebergs melt and forests burn

As people hide inside.

.

We would have tried to clean up

This world we call our home

Since you’ve come to visit us

We know we’re not alone.
