The Alien

From their vast, blue sky Comes a flash of chrome, A circular ship looking to dock In a safe harbour to call home Looking for a new world While I hover in and out, Inhabited by intelligent life Free of fear and doubt I only observe these beings Who become more strange, Yet, their demeanor over time Never really seems to change Yet again, I have to stop And turn back the way I came, What was here for a million years Has evolved to be the same None here would welcome me A little man with green skin, How awfully they do treat Their very own kith and kin If I had set foot upon Earth They would surely raise their fist, Maybe it would just be best If they didn't know that I exist.

i find this an expose of the fallacious roots that Marxists pursue in their search for a Utopia....such as the Icarians....alas human nature.....and maybe why the universe is not loaded with alien television signals....it is silent

This is so very deep and metaphorical, how one feels unwelcome etc alienated in a world that only sees things as they like! How creative and moving! Pleasure always reading you
