Ripped off in outer space

Don't get ripped off when you're in outer space

By Jae QilinPublished 3 years ago 2 min read

I got ripped off when I went to outer space

Was it all worth it

Killing all the aliens

And saving my planet

Or was it just a play

For the aliens behind the mask

And behind the shield

Of one another

Because we are all one another,

Taking from outer brothers

Wishing to be lovers

But the stars were written since the beginning

And some may falter and die

But others will shine bright

And provide that light

To shine past the masks

To see each other's faces

Instead of standing in our own places

Being afraid of people

Is not the way the world should go

People are social creatures

But these aliens are timid and tense

When we make each other all so

How can you tell apart from a pretense?

Hoping they don’t take offense

And they’re just worried about their own fence

because six feet is social distancing

we have to acknowledge our healthiness

and stop the pistons in thee

then we will find wealthiness

and be able to form our own society

a place where even when you fall down

you’re allowed to stand back up

and fight back

because that is the power we all lack

the power to do justice unto ourself

and fight forth

these aliens are not of this world

and they are taking everything from me

how to I fend off these robbers

I do what they all do

I took back from them

But I took the mask from them

And became one myself

So now I am an alien on alien man

Working for another tea to slam

Getting ripped off again while in outer space

Just trying to meditate and breathe here I am

But these aliens swarm me for what once I am

Because the past is in the present while the future is also near

The past will never last so these aliens will leave by 4 AM

Don’t have fear for what is near while you have fear for one another

Causing fear in what is near is bad for the present

Because it gives you a tense

Just like one of them

So disregard that pretense

to be an immense person

Be your own

And don’t get ripped off by the aliens

Trying to become Them

Worry about nothing but yourself

So you worry not for ourself

Because we are all one

So none are alone having fun

Don’t be one of them

because they are them and we are us

all riding the same bus

and think about ourselves

not about busts and musts

they are them

and we are us

don't be them

getting ripped off while in outer space
