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.
