Beautiful Planet

(A Terzanelle Poem)

A beautiful planet, blue and green
attracted envy of a crew
of scaly aliens, rarely seen

They chose some special gofers too
to carry out their evil plan
and charmed them as their favoured crew

They said as gods, the soul of Man
belongs to us - we shall enforce
compliance with our evil plan

So narratives were primed in morse
to infiltrate unguarded minds
by using lies…, deception…, force

Yet love is marked by acting kind
confirms a truth “all shall be well”
and calms the lost unguarded mind

A Paradise turned into hell?
A beautiful planet, blue and green
a hidden truth “all shall be well”
and scaly aliens, rarely seen.
