Colin Mitchell Williams Poet Free verse

Aliens On Earth

And so the darkest age had fallen
they knew not the friendly from the enemy
but each and everyone one of them
had become the foe

In dim lit rooms they tally their coin of economy
and gave complaint to the price of life
kevlar wrapped around their hearts and minds
insanity's purchase on their sanity
eyes turned to some kind of god
wishing for a miracle
their collection of tickets from the lottery
waiting for a better time
and maybe

Still united in a nation
in a state of alienation
what ever they need is stolen from them
taken for a price tag
and then sold right back to them
enemies thinking their enemies want to kill them
still living in a nation 
a state of alienation

Aliens on Earth
each one an enemy
each one the adversary
of humanity
sitting in a dim room
counting out their coins
of life's economy

And still the godlike whispers to them
come back to me
remember back to eternity
who you are cannot be written on a paper
no book
no law
and no society
only life can contain you
only this life can hold you
come back to me
remember yourselves in eternity

But in the darkest chambers
never walking side by side
never to realise
their neighbours where their saviors
living in their worlds of isolation
addicted to their separation
and denying all connection
hidden away in their aliens on earth
they are the enemy
fearing the enemies

And so they walk into the light
casting but a shadow
and what the hell do we know
kevlar wrapped around their hearts 
and bullets in their ego
insanity's purchase for their sanity
all eyes turned to some kind of god
wanting for a miracle
but wishes are so damn fickle 
still united in their nation
their state of alienation
what ever they need is stolen from them
taken for a price tag
and then sold right back to them
enemies thinking their enemies want to kill them
still living in a nation 
a state of alienation
