Siege of Orleans

Siege of Vienna

Siege of Ceuta

Siege of Leningrad

Millenniums, centuries, decades passed

We landed on the moon

We sent vehicles to Mars

NASA redirected an asteroid

6.8 million miles away

James Webb telescope almost

touched a black hole

Now add to history

Siege of Gaza

Now add to history

6000 bombs

Now add to history

we can’t get water into the mouths of the children trapped

We can create artificial intelligence

But can’t turn on our sane minds

Telescope takes photos of Jupiter’s moons

We can’t show a video of one unarmed

Palestinian shot

Fellow Aliens, if you exist,

can you report objectively

on the plight of the human race?
