Do you find aliens receptive?
From an alien’s perspective
we are all weird as them
worshipping dogma and tired beliefs
thinking nothing can bring relief
but on this planet
the birds the animals the insects and trees
are as alien as alien can be
yet we see them everywhere everyday
religion tells us a story
but we are born from the extraordinary.
Chasing payments just to live on our planet
paying taxes and learning to talk
it’s no surprise we go insane and baulk
at what we have to do everyday
controlled in every way
By systems of mismanagement
engaged and married to people we will never understand
but love the universal force
stitches us tighter together than crochet
and we use the word ok more than we should
if only we could see through the stress and mess
to make this world a better place
but perhaps on an alien planet
they have the right idea
instead of living in fear
fear and love are powerful forces
and when they work together unfortunately we are slaves to them
so live a life alien to some
be the one who understands and overcomes
don’t be numb.
