I was surrounded by worn out places.
What blood thirsty monsters caused this mad world?
Essence of evil smiled on their faces.
That’s why I’m an extraterrestrial.

Forcing change is like beating a dead horse.
To them violence is second nature.
I just sit and watch as they pile up corpse.
Thinking, will I return once they mature?

For now I’m the only man on the moon.
They must go through a metamorphosis.
They must change their swords to words very soon,
For I am dying of loneliness.

Do I care if us humans don’t change? Nope.
Do I think we will ever change? I hope.

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
