Re: Space Empires Haiku.
our consessions found
an avenue bringing peace
we spared their homeland
colony shall go
they will withdraw from our space
contact will now cease
new system scouted
they have designs on our space
renig on peace treaty
their colony stays
a military compound
that spies on our space
give up more planets
they demand of our people
never satisfied
never wanted peace
just breathing room to build up
their weakened navy
our Last hope for peace
one desperate concession
to protect our race
our mutual gain
does not interest aliens
war their only goal
accept our treaty
provoke conflict no longer
listen to reason
nothing that you have
is what we have desired
merely privacy
do not try patience
lest fire rain down from your sky
more ships will return
