'' The Verdict We'Re Afraid Is Excission '' Poem by Bri Mar

The Federation of Planets have now convened,
In the past have they have rarely intervened?
They’re discussing the life forms we have demeaned
They regret delaying their decision.

They know there’s a balance that they must strike,
There’s only one species they really dislike,
So they’ve agreed to ensure we all take a hike,
For our future there’ll be no provision.

What we think about this they don’t really care,
As the decent among us like the Yeti are rare,
The universe has nothing, to which we can compare,
Any protests they will treat with derision.

They reach the conclusion they must make us extinct,
As our gift for destruction is very distinct,
To the death of our planet we’ll forever be linked,
Everywhere we go we create a division.

Out of all our galaxies you are truly unique,
Killing for fun is a sick technique,
While we watch it is havoc you wreak,
There was bound to be a collision.

Over the centuries it has clearly been shown,
Your greed and corruption stand alone,
Your refusal to protect even your own,
Shows us there’s a great division.

Allowing travel into space was a large mistake,
Knowing your promises you would forsake,
In cooperation with others you refuse to partake,
That’s the nature of the human condition.

Instead of us trying to plead a good case,
We throw their demands back in their face,
When we try to hit back with a coup de grace,
Our tactics soon need a revision.

Within seconds we are under their total control,
Our existence they refuse to extol,
For your past misdeeds there’ll be no parole,
On our contract there’s now a rescission.

Your lack of respect we cannot comprehend,
Your behaviour here on Earth we cannot defend,
Human life in our universe we will not extend,
