Unidentified Flying Objects

Come again, come again
Outside my window
As dome-shaped saucers
Shining an ethereal light
And, as I rush outside
In curiosity, play hide and seek
Fly over the trees
Vanish into the sky
In the starry expanse
Which the Milky Way girdles
UFOs! Ever remain unidentified
So that poetry we can weave
Yarns of mystery around you
Move about like somnambulists
Eyes raised and riveted in the skies
Anxious to capture your unpredictable flights
Sorry, some of us have been prosaic
Linked you to our nuclear sites
Made movies of aliens who maul and kill
Scamper like big roaches
Walk like encephalitis
Men in black
Conspiring with Heads of States
Dissect abductees
Like we do with mice
Humanity, it seems, is all set
For a paradigm shift
To assimilate a gruesome probability
In through the fringes of expanding reality
The mightiest State on the globe
Is dying to be abducted into it
The rest of the world then has no choice
Star wars, death, destruction and pain
A sad repeat of past history
On extra-terrestrial scale.
If that is the shape of human wont
Of what avail impotent Gods could be?
UFOs! Please, therefore, ever remain
Unidentified stuff, for our fancy
To weave stories and mysteries
In boundless poesy
May we remain ever bound
To terrestrial territory
And may our eyes alone wander
The endless blue, and starry nights
For your desultory darts from eternity
Peace, Peace, Peace.
