Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Unearthly Ultimatum

The alien beings came from
Another world in time and space.
They were called Zeq and they had come
To subjugate the human race.
The Zeq had watched as we progressed
From clubs to supersonic jets.
At last they knew what they first guessed.
We were useless, except as pets.
To try to take the Earth by force
Was deemed to be too nebulous.
The Zeq chose first a simpler course.
The second choice was up to us.

"Surrender by tomorrow noon,"
"Or else, we will blow up your moon."
