Postcard From Planet Earth

Sorry it has been so long since you received my last transmission, meanwhile I've studied them - learned about their strange condition. Now I think I understand why they live in such confusion, sadly they'll never change - I have come to this conclusion.... Planet Earth is great to visit - It's great to visit (but you wouldn't want to live there.) I am the mariner who navigates seas celestial, astronaut ambassador sent to foreign shores terrestrial. Now with hindsight I admit I don't admire the humans' lot, frail bodies - fragile, ill equipped, their lives are hard (but they are not). Planet Earth is great to visit - It's great to visit (but you wouldn't want to live there.) And when you know the ways of men then you can only pity them, every day a raging storm - castaway in a carbon based life form. I've wandered far (I've wondered hard) and have one source of comfort only - when I share my thoughts with you mortality is not so lonely. Countless starts between us - myriad the things I miss, I say farewell and think of home, the static drowns my parting kiss. Planet Earth is great to visit - It's great to visit (but you wouldn't want to live there.) And as your signal slowly wanes - the fears return (my growing pains), here it is for what it's worth - yet another postcard from planet Earth. Now with hindsight I admit I don't admire the humans' lot, frial bodies - ill equipped, their lives are hard (but they are not). Planet Earth is great to visit - It's great to visit (but you wouldn't want to live there.) And when you know the ways of men then you can only pity them, every day a raging storm - castaway in a carbon based life form. Planet Earth is great to visit - It's great to visit (but you wouldn't want to live there.) --- Postcard from Planet Earth - Skyclad
