AliensA Poem by Olusegun Akanbi
Nobody really knew of their existence
until the year 2626 Prior to that year it was merely speculation From an old scientist's bag of tricks Lutus does not lie in the habitable zone of its star Yet it is habitable Hot and not very far From Numulus A mega super star Sitting in the dark corners of the massive Milky Way Nobody ever thought that we would see this day Our predecessors had always talked about extraterrestrials As little green men Or horrifying monsters sitting in what looks like a lion’s den Riding in flying saucers But those people were double crossers What we sighted Were nothing like men And were unlikely monsters As if God wanted to shield humanity from its doom Aliens approaches with a boom They were worm like chimeras With one thousand legs Or was it feet Looking for meat They emerged from their colonies That looks like a gigantic cocoon Lying deep in a sea of water about the size of a lagoon Glowing with bright light We humans prepared for a fight We fires on targets with our sophisticated weapons The aliens simply multiplied in seconds Right before their eyes We flew to the skies Because there was no where to hide And we had lost our pride We flew away with our rocket boots And made away with all our loots To our spacecraft A masterpiece of technology But of that age it was an apology The Lutus D 9 2700 With rock samples and specimens of skin of the worm monsters What are they made of? It is hard to tell But seeing the way they rebel It is obvious Lutus is hell Aliens vomited a strange yellowish substance Some damage the ship and caused resistance We left our robot guards to contend with them As we watched from a distance What are these simple beings? That looks like earthly serpents that caused us fleeing With an enormous strength and size I saw it swallow up our space mobiles before it flies They retreat to undisclosed location in the black sea We dropped a nuclear device and made Lutus history Intending the total annihilation of the entire worm race But the more we killed the more these worms full the place A midst the mushroom cloud The next nuclear explosion sounded loud Worms multiplied by asexual union Army of aliens now over ten thousand billion We have no other alternative than to abandon mission This was a very hard decision For me to take But it was taken To avoid internecine before I wake And a nightmare that took place in Lutus’ black lake © 2012 Olusegun Akanbi |
