We Are the Aliens We’ve Been Waiting For
Navy pilots, have you heard,
Are talking to reporters
From the Times
and from the Post
About what they’ve seen
In the skies — UFOs
And who knows
What those could be
Space people? ETs?
Let’s just say they are
Let’s just say they see
Society’s catastrophes
And, let’s just say they say:
We’d like to turn your globe
into a salutary garden
End the wars, and poverty,
and property, and properly
Establish peace
The only thing we’d need
In exchange is your support
Because we’d all outnumber them
By such a massive margin
There’d be no need to resort to force
Something that could happen,
Actually, with no space people at all
Here on planet Earth
