POETS' CORNER

WITH LOVE FROM SATURN
Citizens of earth...
The intelligent Sapiens
We come in peace...
This is just a laser-shooting saucer, not a warship
We just want to use your brains for experiments
We mean you no harm
You are to come out of your homes...
For a warm handshake/tentacle-shake of friendship

Bloody aliens!
Didn't you yourselves call us intelligent?
How then could we swallow your treachery?
Send this message to your home planet...
Kaboom! Kacham! Kabam!
And the saucer falls
We are intelligent species!

DEATH TO THE GODS
Death to the preposterous
The beings that govern the cosmos
I, small Kratus do point my sword
In sacrilegious defiance, upwards
Needle, to an elephant.
So dare I say, death to the gods
I will not execute, the Lion will
But I swear to your death
For my needle is made a noose
Therefore I scream with a wounded mouth, death to the gods
Pseudo realm lords

Death to dictators
The powers that be
For destruction is your destiny
The prophecy has been fulfilled
My sword is made useless
But death is your sentence
