Spoils of War

Imagine, after humans have left the planet
And the new owners of Earth
Are digging about for signs of our past

There will probably be a TV programme

Intergalactic Time Team

Beamed across the universe

Aliens, delicately sifting soil

Looking for ancient artifacts

Trying to discover what our race was like

Excitement as the first items are found

An ancient sword, bullets, a rusted flamethrower

An unexploded mine
