Children of the Stars

Children of the Stars

By Rickey Rivers Jr.

A warning: the children of the stars will come down. A flying saucer type will descend, and from that plate like craft a galley of infants will spill. Beware of the children. The sky will open soon. The rate of travel will surprise. Their eyes are like canyons. The children of the stars await your mistakes, as they are like the children of Earth. Differences are difficult to decipher. Delusions lead the dimwitted to destroy. Damnation to the dumb. Direct your attention downward. Don’t dive in their sight. You’ll die twice.
