Let me make it clear from the outset; alien beings are most definitely NOT sweet folks like that darling ET,  or those big spindly metal creatures that menaced Tom Cruise in “War of the Worlds.”  No, indeed,  they are in our midst,  subtly lulling us into a false sense of superior security.  Why do I say this?  You may well ask,  and the answer will  now be revealed.

Have you ever walked down a quiet sunny street,  only to be surprised by sounds you do not immediately recognize as human?  You walk on, apprehension slowing your steps, until you come upon the source of those sounds.  The aliens in our midst – a gang of kids doing things that involve sticks,  ropes, wheels and balls.  It is called “playing”  by the uninitiated,  but to those of us forewarned,  it is a well-organized warm-up by a highly trained cohort of alien beings who will  eventually take over the world.

Cast your mind back to the times when you have admired cute babies “conversing” with each other in babbles, as they sit placidly in their strollers while their mothers shop.  You must have been entranced by these little people relating to each other, amused by these sweet attempts at communication.  Think again!  These are the thin end of the wedge, the first force of alien invasion.  Those gurgles, tentative touches and strange facial expression, are actually sophisticated information-exchanges, arming the aliens with vital procedures for taking over the planet and its peoples.  Let’s face it, they have already won us over, emotionally, with their spurious innocence and apparent lack of guile.

Think hard, think very hard, about how these “babies” take over our lives.  How we bow down to their every desire, how they melt us with their tears and smiles, how they rob us of sleep so we cease to function.  Their wishes are our commands; we run ourselves ragged to nourish and comfort them, unaware that these aliens are well on the way to taking over our world.  No, they HAVE taken it over.  Night feeds, diapers, wind – these are all very subtle control mechanisms that we have become programmed to accept.

The most sinister aspects of alien invasion appear when these creatures reach puberty.  At that stage, we are so brain-washed, so at a loss to understand them, that they have achieved total domination.  Oh, don’t kid yourself that adult humans are in control.  That way lies madness.  These adolescent creatures speak a different language, subtly linked to our own.  They employ esoteric systems that involve music, clothing, eating habits and behaviors that confuse us enough to leave us vulnerable to alien infestation.

That’s it, folks!  It is done, we are in the power of the alien forces of our own progeny.  We have been the hosts for too long.  Have no fear of Martians; beware, rather, of what we ourselves have created.  They are the future of mankind.  The final question is:  Should we be afraid, or should we rejoice?  I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
