Science Fiction - The Nano Flying Robots Poem by Paul Warren

When the space ship stopped over the Sydney Harbour Bridge icon
The armed forces were certain they could surround it until it was gone
So it was a stand off that went on for two full weeks time
Until one morning about ten o'clock a small black cloud appeared quite fine

The observers could see no opening in the space ship near the cloud
Then the cloud disappeared suddenly with a noise quite loud
Suddenly the people in the boats on Sydney Harbour started to fall down
And others fell over dead as the wave spread from the object around

This caused a panic across Sydney with the population fleeing the city
That was seven days ago and the whole of the east coast was lost without pity
Melbourne and Brisbane were lost in the in those first blind panic days
With millions lost as the rest of us ran as fast as we could to get away

Scientists have look at the problem in an attempt to find out what was happening
And they have found that tiny nano flying robots are the cause by injecting
Deadly cyanamide liquid into what they land on on in their flight
And so far we have not found a solution to it but we will never give up the fight.
