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.
