Aliens with Transparent Bodies and Glowing Blue Eyes
They came offering peace and with the promise
of making planet earth a better world.
Their appearances were bizarre and unsettling,
ten feet tall, transparent bodies and glowing blue eyes.
They had supernatural powers of persuasion
that convinced governments to believe them.
At first they were heralded as heroes who miraculously
brought peace to the planet.
All was well for two amazingly wonderful years
for all humans and nations
until millions of their reinforcements descended on the planet
and disarmed all the guns and the nukes
and began slaughtering and carving up humans
for tasty meals and gourmet treats.
When they left the planet after years of
gorging themselves on billions of humans,
the few humans who survived their genocidal feasts
prayed they’d never return.
