We Have Crossed the Galaxy To Find Dross

~Alien Abduction~ Lying on the sun warmed grass Breaths mingling, hearts as one Condensation clouds painting pictures that make us laugh The change is sudden and not such fun A swirling opens in the sky A force beyond comprehension Lifted from the grass, from my lips escapes a cry Nothing we can do- there is no prevention. Elbows bang, knees are skinned Fear takes a hold on us Sucked up in the air and pinned Far to scared to cuss. We are prodded we are poked Looked at inside and out I think that we are being choked I pray that we pass out. The floor opens a smoked glass room Swirling down, is that the moon? A voice ominous deep with gloom Is this the end is this our doom? “Be gone you are a waste, consider yourselves tossed We have nothing more from you to learn Even though a galaxy we have crossed.” “You can teach us nought You are nothing but flesh and bone We seek those that we know can be taught You are the dross, across a universe we have flown.” “Go back to counting grass That is what you are fit for We will leave this earthly mass You are not worth our time in war.” “We want a people to command for them to make us their kings Not spending time making love, not thinking of anything… We are warriors of the galaxy we crossed your milky way But you are worse than dust to us and we won’t be back another day.” ©~GG~ 26/07/2012

VERY interesting one you have penned, Mandy. I quite like this. Wondering what inspired it. Sorry about your brother, btw. My brother was taken from us, by a drunk driver!
