Apology Poem by Xielgnihhan Amasahdympaehk

Apology



It is with ease of mind, but drought of heart that I write this..
I did not know that these things would happen at all,
Not the destruction, the tragedy, the loss, the sadness,
None of those terrible things did I plan to come and fall.

I didn't think that the consequences would be so great,
The mass-genocide of your beautiful species at hand,
It was all in self-protection of mine that this happened,
For, like you, I was protecting my home and my land.

I may never shake this thing from my mind,
But now, with a greatly heavy heart, I doth ask,
From you an acceptance of my apology,
And that ye bequeath unto me a humble task.

I shall, in return of destroying your world.. and home,
Go in search of some planet befitting of your kind,
And shall not return to whence I came from,
Till a place worthy of your species I find.
