Calling for Intergalactic Asylum to Our Cosmic Courts and Territories

To the appropriate  
celestial jurisdiction of our  
galaxy and planet
 
The people of earth  
are distressed  
and persecuted  
by unknown forces
 
costing us thousands  
of lives daily  
 
our children and poor
are starving now  
 
a quarter billion  
cannot eat or  
very nearly so
 
Oppression  
has left us
weakened
 
desperate  
 
and demoralized
 
As Abraham of earth rescued  
his friends and relatives  
I humbly request  
relief and aid
 
if you are children
of our Father and do His will
 
Whether you be God’s  
angels/and or aliens
 
...we see you
 
You have laws, too!
 
I claim my full rights  
as a sentient  
compassionate  
citizen
 
of this galaxy  
 
Render all reasonable  
aid  
God will grant us  
for  
our restoration

Author's Note
What is asylum?
Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who can demonstrate that they are unable or unwilling to return to their country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of:
race,
religion,
nationality,
membership in a particular social group,
or political opinion.
The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law following the atrocities of World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Geneva Refugee Convention (including the international definition of a refugee) into U.S. immigration law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980.
