Alien
Falling from the sky on this warm evening
My eyes were curious, the sight deceiving
So I ventured to where I thought it hit
That’s when I knew, when I saw it.
From out of the ground, she came with force
The earth was her determined course
Her ship it then had disappeared
She gave out a shriek that hurt my ears
I froze in place when she had seen me
I had no idea what she could really be
But as a human she came, naked as birth
Flying through the skies, to land here on earth
Was her intention to kill or fool mankind?
Was it for thrills or games of the mind?
Did she come to conquer or to eat
Or did she just come for people to meet?
I asked in English with hopes she’d know
The language I used, even though
I’m not the best speaker, nor ever would be
Yet I asked her the purpose, was she there for me?
She replied that she lived on the end of the hill
When she saw the light in the sky, got a thrill
But it flew too close and landed nearby
Tearing of f her clothes in the blink of an eye
I asked if she’s serious or was she from space
For we have intelligence, this human race
We can not be fooled by deceptive games
So I asked her for her birth given name
She said she was Jane, Jane Aubrey from Clark
She said she followed the light there in the dark
It struck the ground with an unbearable force
Knocking her over as a matter of course
I guess my mind just wanted to believe
In a world where women give men every need
But alas I fear not, for she’s just another girl
One who will shun me, who is from this world
