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
