ALIEN MARCH

 

We replicate, we replicate,

You speculate, you speculate,

From where did this curse emanate?

In hidden bat caves now set free?

Escaped from a laboratory?

 

We duplicate and triplicate,

You hesitate, you hesitate,

Your efforts now will be too late,

Pandora’s box is opened wide,

Our progress cannot be denied.

 

We infiltrate, we infiltrate,

You incubate, you incubate.

Wherever you may congregate

There shall we proliferate

To spare or to annihilate.

 

We penetrate, we penetrate,

You legislate, you legislate,

Administrate, try to abate,

But you have no immunity

We march on with impunity.

 

Deliberate, deliberate

On how you might eliminate.

You seek a way to mitigate

The devastation we have caused,

Your systems now are stuck on paused.

 

You calculate and cogitate,

Your scientists investigate.

Their goal is to exterminate

And find a way to vaccinate.

We replicate, we replicate, we replicate……….
