They Came To Steal Our Thoughts

they came to steal our thoughts
consciousness an ocean realm
where drops drip into us in dream and day
and they such thirst and drink do they
an empty vessel will we become
upon their syphoning, drained and gone
harvested, thy human fruit
of beautiful light, wilted, shrivelled
of profound loot, now bodied us
a living dead, left they who stole our thoughts

Quirky fun your forte. Interestingly I watched an old Star Trek Voyager episode yesterday that had a telepathic alien race, now peaceful, yet some were secretly trading in dark and violent thoughts.
