Tears
Roy Batty waxes poetic in a new version of an old monologue
Roy Batty from Blade Runner in a first alien encounter, shows, in rhyme, the first and most important thing about the Earth to these visitors.
dear traveler from far away
I hope you have not come to stay
for while they might seem light and gay
any gift they give
you will repay
there is always a price, you see
borrowed, lended, but never free
the land, the air, the right to be
can be bought
for a fee
they may be mistaken for the rain
but these tears that fall are full of pain
you may receive but will never gain
only shattered dreams
will remain
