I Want My Mommy

(May 7th, 1945 Germany) In a gothic Nazi bunker Where Hitler's son is taken He is strapped into a pod Then placed in strange cannon A red light begins to glow A relic from a ancient alien base The fears of the child unheeded Shot to a new dimension of time/space (fast forward to present day) An enormous spaceship Shaped like a child's soccer ball Appears in Earth's atmosphere A whole planet looks up in awe A shuttle quickly dispatched Ambassadors in shock to see A five-year-old child awaits Screaming, I want my mommy!!! With a wave of his arm As an infantile deity He brushes aside any opposition Showing his invulnerability With a stomp of his foot Mountains tremble and shake And with the slightest nod Causing a devastating tidal wave Where is my mommy? Rings throughout the Earth As governments search for a candidate With the tact and with the nerve To say the magic words And appease this child god Praying he will not discover The presentation will be a fraud The door slowly opens A professional woman appears The young boy looking up His eyes spilling with tears Are you my mommy? Child, where have you been? I've been looking all over I'm not letting you away again Taking him in her arms Trying to complete the sell But he notices her trembling And the ruse can only fail You are not my mommy!!! He screams out in anger They told me to do this, she says Pleading back into a corner Disintegrating the woman Childish fury unleashed Armageddon from a toddler Like a mythology from Greece Looking at the moon Then a fling of his head A temper tantrum afoot Earth becomes a fireball of red So if someone shows up Flexing their "God" muscle Perhaps is just another life form And simply pulling off a hustle A mind from another plane Simply having more force Perhaps is no better than us Perhaps is possibly worse? Just because someone has power Does not make them divine And anyone who desires worship Perhaps has the mind of a child? And if we bow in obedience Just because they can dazzle Can we face the possibility That maybe we worship pure evil?
