Take Me To Your Leader

I sat under a starry sky Then something flashed Out the corner of my eye It was a light that zipped All around, just above ground Then in a split second And without a sound It was right above And a beam of light Levitated me upward And suddenly the night Was replaced with white Clinical walls Apparently they heard my call. I was approached by aliens big and small They offered me the chance to take a ship tour Before I knew we were among the stars Drifting among a host of alien bars I said take me to your leader We need to meet I need to talk and need to see If there is any chance for humanity And my earth and all the other species And he retorted in an alien twang That sound as if he had almost sang That the only hope lays in each of us Discovering and sharing our ability to care and love Then after a few drinks And after participating enough They returned me back to earth to share the news But they just locked me in a padded cell and called me a loon.
