topic of the week

war of the worlds reloaded
alien vs mankind.
again.

its mighty perculiar how things jus haf to turn out this way.
yet understanding it is asking too much.
or is it?

dont they ever get it?
stupid people mankind are.
we are as alien as the ones we seek,
as foreign as they are to us.
even as our telescopes (the hubble still up there??) peer into their space,
it wouldnt be terribly surprisin if the first thing we discover
is a telescope looking right back at us.

and its strange whent the invasion actually begins.
two worlds at loggerheads,
yet its nothing more den a petty dispute,
one in the tiny corners of the universe.
for we always overlook the fact that we are never inferior or superior,
its how we make ourselve to be,
and how others want to make us to be.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder as much as everything else can be.

the scenerio is slightly different.
say the aliens dont haf the human-zapping lasers,
and say bacteria doesnt affect the aliens.
even with all this said,
the difference is still there.
size, quantity,
the humans haf weapons,
the aliens shalt squash them all.
maybe the "war" would actually be a war,
more den a conquest ended.
and long drawn it will be,
much like the way alexandra overtook the world,
the way stupid politicians are doing so now.
slow, but it'll get there.
jus give them time.

who will win?
who is to say?
will it be forever etched,
in the memory that is history?
but history is always about HIS story,
the story of the survivor.
(obviously the loser no longer exist, so "his" cant be him right...)
take a look at any history book.
like the bible (jus an example).
it tells of all the greatness,
all the suffering and sacrifices,
everything that we ought to and prob already noe.
and everything else?
buried with those who fell.

you must have heard of peace talks,
there always are.
but more often than not,
its just a name,
to cover the truth: surrender agreement.
the problem arises when neither party gives in.
because of reputation, ego, what not.
hence the stalemate.

the one with the bigger weapon wont win,
it'll only help him get there.
whoever wearing the earrings?

people who live in glass houses shouldnt.
