"Welcome On Earth?" rewrite
We exist on this planet
and study the universe
in hopes of contacting
life beyond we.
For great things we may learn
and share with our friends,
and so we search
but we don't really see.
We send greetings in hopes
they'll be received one day,
and that "they" will come
and visit our place.
Yet, how would humanity
really treat such a guest
who came to visit us
from outer space?
Upon landing on our planet
we would likely attack
our new friend we so
begged to drop by;
And if not done at first
the experiments and tests
would most certainly see
our friend die.
But we so strive and some doubt
there exists other life
as we are blind
of our hypocrisy.
If there is other life
beyond us we won't know
as barbaric is our tendency.
