Dispelling Superstition

Conspiracies and theories

They promulgate to death

Always form a series

Of concepts so far-fetched

But the answer is more humble

There are no aliens

The theory takes a tumble

Because they're all simians

What are the chances of an alien like that?

Their anatomy suggest they're humanoid, minus fat

On other planets the atmosphere would kill

The time it would take to get here

Is something they could never fulfil

It would take eternity

Travelling this distance

Across the universe

And even the fraternity

Of beings wouldn't see us

They'd die before getting close

Even if longevity

Is much higher for them

They don't have a cure for death

The journey would take centuries

To their death they'd be condemned

This is all because they came back here before their birth

They are just humans from our future on this earth

They have evolved beyond; we evolved from early man

They are part of an elite a struggling future clan

Can't you see what you're buying into? It's marketed as truth

They call it "The Alien!", so you will buy their magazine

Time travel theory is likely, as opposed to "aliens"

Their world in the future is so much more feasible

Like Brave New World, infected clones.

The sense unfolds, compare their bones with homo sapiens;

We're so alike. There's no "alien"; you know it's right

Time travel is more feasible than humanoid galaxian voyagers

Think about blackholes and wormholes

We're going to be time-dimension warriors

Their heads are substantial because they've evolved

(Perhaps these thoughts have already been thought)

They use the other 80% of our brain

They've learned new ways of overcoming stress and pain

People want to believe that we're "not alone"

But surely the idea of time-travel clones

Is just as enthralling as life elsewhere

One day they'll discover them and then they'll care*

Because of their large brains they communicate

Without using their mouths; they are telepathic

And no need to defecate because they take pills which

Satisfy all their needs without the waste products we have

UFOs: they disappear

Because they're shifting dimensions for a moment

To avoid changing their future world

Their eyes glazed over because the atmosphere's too gaseous

This is why their nostrils are so small; to guard their lungs

Their skin discoloured because they lack oxygen and bloodflow

And their circulation is restricted by pollution

The reason they come back in time

Is because they're running out

Of things they use too much

Like raw materials, air

And organ donors, no doubt

They're running out of luck

Perhaps they have no record

Or history of our race

Was it destroyed by fire?

And they almost got wiped out

By pollution or plagues

Abductions of modern humans rarely occur

Because they don't like to interfere with their past

It could have a devastating effect on their lives

If they tamper too much with us, their civilisation won't last
