after years of abductions
and probes

and attempts to rewire
and rehab

the human race

the aliens packed up
their belongings

and abandoned
their bases

in the mountains
under the ground

and deep in the sea

they concluded the
human race

was impossible
to warbreak

and abandoning
all hope

they flew back
to their planets

and left the
human race to

its doomsday fate
