CALL ME ALIEN
CALL ME ALIEN
Finally, my blood began to coagulate
At last I was reverting to my true form
No longer that puny human organism
Do not mistake that smile for altruism
My smirking at your pain is the norm
Your form I’ve used and grown to hate
I have lived on Earth for so many years
I’ve done my duty and not complained
Gathering of intelligence to understand
How best to do what we have planned
This crazy species cannot be explained
And their end time is here, it appears
For me, I’ve played only a minor part
As into their society I have now grown
With none suspecting who I really was
Why did they accept me - just because
All the time believing they were alone
With feelings in that thing called heart
I’m glad that soon I’ll be out of here
Back to my original world so distant
None of the stuff claimed as humanity
I have even learned a little profanity
With my own values, it’s inconsistent
Let all these soft humans shed a tear
If I cannot get back, my duty is done
I’ll enjoy their pain, seen at first hand
It will start with a massive black cloud
And I’ll laugh as they all cry out loud
I will be relieved when my people land
And relish the warmth of a second sun
