The Darkness Came Poem by graham russell

the aliens watched the earth
this blue, green orb
as they travelled closer

what life if any would this
world have upon it
most likely the same
as it, s outer worlds

a signal comes where
none had been, a picture
appears in front of them
city, s they can see

alien life with in these
city, s of stone and glass
going about there daily task
unaware that darkness comes

alien eyes watch all that
transpires on the earth
then give orders of death
kill those aliens on the earth

this planet shall be ours
said lips with a sneer
lips not of the earth
but from another world

and the darkness came.
