We Hope the New Rulers of Earth are Nice

Pretty much everything you’ll need to know.

Welcome to Earth, there’s so much here to see.

There’s fashion and sports, books, machines, and tools.

But before those things, come along with me

To truly know us, you must see our schools.

Numbers, and letters, and science, and more.

Kids learn our past so their minds and dreams grow.

We choose to build this. Do you know what for?

We want more for them than we had, and so:

If you want to know us, who we really are,

Sit down and listen to our children speak:

“From fire to cars to the moon, we’ve come far…

Small steps for mankind, nowhere near our peak!”

Earth is their birthright, and so we chose this:

To send our young here with dreams and a kiss.

    Definitely the first place an alien should see when visiting our planet.
