POEM: Alienated Discrimination

 

Will we accept them

Or treat them like we do our own

Will we embrace them

Or shine with a light unshone

It's a matter of planetary equations

We brush up against them like stellar abrasions

Do they come for friendship

Breeding

Or just emotionless companionship

Do they need help

Are they the devil

Should we offer a fellowship

Humans look at a pretty star

600 light-years away

Instead of seeing it as a beauty beyond it's massive grey

Humans see power and authority

Whatever happened to

'You have to share'

Or, 'Peace be with thee'

Look at how we treat each other

Who could blame the ones who hover

You'd stay up there too

If a world full of "its" refused to see you

What if their only purpose is to see

Just see

Centuries have passed and we're still searching for every key

The chain that unlocks the vault of the universe

What if our newfound information

The key that they bring

Says that our only cure

The only way to get the Earth pure

Was to breed

With them

And procreate a whole new race of ourselves

Maybe one day we will be able to change our purpose

And pay a visit to ourselves

A means and a way

To just see

Maybe

Just maybe

We'll see.
