The Suffering Alien

The suffering alien

He just lives in the world. Integrated life, but alien
He feels, experiences, and interprets existence
He discovers human life. In a human body
The alien

To live in this age is a fantastic privilege. Says alien
Rapid development, complex social environment
Look around. Continuous change, genesis
Said the alien

There are so many connections, causes, and effects
Nuanced meanings and invisible connections
There is no end to the existence of life here
Recognised the alien

Alien, alien, 
Stranger, stranger
A suffering soul
Comes from far away in the sky

He is enjoying human life
But some parts he doesn’t like

He is a social creature now
But he feels alone. Restless solitude

He needs a better existence
He wants to stay alone
For contemplation
Holy Solitude

Solitude
Alien

He is
A stranger

An alien
Solitude

Dear Vilmos, what an incredible piece you've written! The way that you have described alienation is precisely correct. Every line is heart shattering! Best, Anne
