The Revised Hierarchy
The visits became more frequent,
And the international sightings
Were not brushed aside anymore
Like the rambling if lunatics.
–
No corner of the planet
Went untouched or unchanged,
By first the absolute horror
Then the fear filled aftermath.
–
The aliens did not come in peace
Or with any friendly intentions,
Earth just happened to have
Elements to power their progress.
–
The humans and other animals
Were also convenient for food,
But proved too weak for the labor
Dedicated to the mining.
–
They had been to other planets,
Depleting them to nothing
More than a vacant spinning orb,
Then moving on to the next.
–
Earth had first been scouted,
Generations of leaders approached.
Many too afraid to communicate
The numerous warnings received.
–
When the first space ships landed
There was no press coverage,
But the speculators were out
In curious mumbling crowds.
–
Earths landmass was overshadowed
By glowing low flying-saucers,
And everything that was alive
Was riddled with nervousness.
–
The revised hierarchy
Saw humans fall a few notches,
As intelligence was redefined
And development reshaped.
–
After the salt mines were empty,
They started on extracting
Salt from the seas and oceans
Which was much more difficult.
–
Their machines did the work
And were controlled by androids,
The products of the eugenics
That followed the human cull.
–
The aliens only human allies
Were the dwindled Dogon tribe,
Who had maintained contact
But ignored by the world at large.
–
While others waited for centuries,
For the explicit endorsement
By the scientific community
And agencies of government.
–
The Dogon remained isolated,
Protected by Sirius C guardians
From other so called civilizations
Suddenly now seeking fraternity.
–
When their regular modernization
Proved to be useless against the
Invasion from undiscovered Sirius C,
Predicted in timeless Dogon traditions.
