“I think we’re property.
I should say we belong to something:
That once upon a time, this earth was No-man’s Land,
that other worlds explored and colonized here,
and fought among themselves for possession,
but that now it’s owned by something:
That something owns this earth — all others warned off.

“I suspect... that all of this has been known, perhaps for
ages,
to certain ones upon this earth, a cult or order,
members of which function like bellwethers to the rest of us,
or as superior slaves or overseers, directing us in accordance
with instructions received — from Somewhere else —
in our mysterious usefulness.”
