The Alien

THE ALIEN I am an alien I live in a world where aggression and brutality are the codes The people of this world find fun in watching people slowly lose their breath These people give more respect to cattle lives and less respect to human's They conduct mass killings for cattle The people of this world don't marry They buy wives, two hundred cows make a good purchase These people park V8 cars in grass thatched houses The people of my world would use that V8 money for development But what do I know, am just and alien These people have large fertile lands But they still starve The youth have shamelessly put all their energy in gambling games The children and the elderly are malnourished Their leaders are playing bullet games for the chair The people of this country have taken sides for a cause they know not They're sleeping in refugee camps While the "Big boys" are having fun and accumulating wealth at their expense The people of this world don't know they have the power to make things better But what do I know, I am just an alien. These people don't value their nation They're divided by tribes and clans They're hypocrites They call themselves "brother" in foreign lands But a foe they call themselves in their land. You heard me right, foe as in enemy, Not Friends Of the Earth. They're busy raping their mothers And castrating their brothers They consider that as a way to subdue other tribes, But I find it barbaric and inhumane But what do I know, am just an alien.
