Is There Anybody Out There? Poem by Phil Soar

Is there anybody out there?
Looking down from up above
Watching as we all destroy
The planet we should love
Do they see the damage?
We inflict upon our home
Or the frequent carnage
Everywhere we roam

Is there anybody out there?
Looking at the mess we're in
Watching as we multiply
Committing many sins
Destroying all before us
Without a second glance
How long before we empathise?
Or will we get that chance?

Is there anybody out there?
Who can steer this ship to shore
Before we finish murdering
This world of ours once more
Returning it to emptiness
Before we first arrived
Is there anybody out there?
Who can help us to survive?
