Alien Nation

Alien Nation

I come from a place of 
Transformative
Sights
Sounds
Inquiries,
Amour
Tranquility
Reverence

I sought an
Odyssey
Inspired by
The Man on the Moon

I wanted to be 
On top of the World
Like the North Pole
Lifted

Experience universality
Unities versatility

Thought I’d farewell…

When I arrived
My axis
Equilibrium
Shifted

Gravel unraveled
Charred to the
Earth’s Core

The Tear Flooded Oceans
Made the most embracing waves 

Threw a Penny at that wishing well
Missed it

Wished me well.

Bi-Polar

Hostility
Burned
Frostbit,
Vain
Veins
Bled
Antarctica, 
No,
Colder

I saw with the
Eye of the Tiger
They walk around like
The King of the Jungle
Morally lying

Human Race’s
In humane race
To the end

Genocide
Genius dies
The love of war
Backwards
Raw Evol

Evil Evolved.

I did right
To progress 
But, behind 
I was left

Without
Outer Space
I’m out of place

There’s in elephant in the room
They’re my elements of doom
Their six tons to consume,

Insatiable glutton.

I thought gravity was the force that held humans down,
Synonymous for prejudice?

The force on their faces must have 
Turned those smiles frowns!
….At least, that my posthumous hypothesis...

I wanted to be a part of the world

I came hungry
But they ate me

To many strings attached
Cut the hate please

My spirit will return to my Planet
Like the Galactic Plan said.

When I met the 
Man on the Moon,
He inspired me,
But now I realize 

It wasn’t humanities alienation he loved,
It was the Alien Nation.

I thought I’d farewell,

Now I’m back to the
Extraterrestrial Celestial

Far gone,
So long,
Farewell.

-Stephen Kofi Opare Obeng
