In School, We Learned About The World Before Ours, About The Angels And Gods That Lived In The Sky, Ruling

In school, we learned about the world before ours, about the angels and gods that lived in the sky, ruling the earth with kind and loving hands. Some say those are just stories, but I don’t believe that. 

The gods rule us still, they have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.
