Human Nature
Poem about an alien's first encounter with people.
Out of the sky the space creature fell
It was from heaven but soon would find hell
He floated down and stood on my street
He was naked without even shoes on his feet
As he advanced I shouted "Oh dear"
An alien being was about to come right here
I wondered if he were a friend or a foe
And thru telepathy he let me know
He read my thoughts and extended his hand
An extraterrestrial was now in our land
I enclosed it's fingers inside my own
With my mind I made my feelings known
The first communication was to prepare
My new friend of earthlings to be aware
Right away I knew it understood
Not all humans would consider a space to be good
As a shouting crowd began to draw near
I saw in his eyes he was realizing fear
The mob drew closer the alien tightened his grip
He put his other hand around my hip
We were soaring in the blink of an eye
Above the angry crowd into the sky
Not one sound was uttered no words did he say
As we rose through the galaxy far far away
