Aliens Invisible In Our Midst

What would an alien look like?
Would you see an alien standing next to you?
Why should an alien look anything like you,
with arms, legs, head, eyes and ears?
Most aliens out there are different forms of life.
Invisible to the naked eye.
Perhaps not organic, based on water and carbon,
But invisible, totally foreign, undetectable.

"Who are you to call me an alien?"
"Anthropomorphic bigot, that is who you are"
"We've been here all along, on our earth, in our solar system, 
living our own lives in peace, undetected by you guys"
"Ignorance is bliss, be content that you do not know"
"What would you do anyway, if you knew we were here, right now?"

Doug Vinson April 11, 2017 at 9:36 PM John, you make good points. : ) I think there are more than one alien species here, though, as some of my co-workers definitely qualify, and they are visible.
