Dear Sir From The Universe Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

You welcomed us with open arms
we who kill people and break things
and write home to good old Mom
telling her how we opened fire
on innocent civilians-

We salute you with poised pens
in hand as we lob grenades
into shacks and hovels
all in the name of God!

Soon enough the planet
will be as quiet and empty of life
as the cemetery where you lie
in total peace!

Dear Sir,
accept this offering
from a soldier of God!
