Alienated
Dear Earthlings,
Why do you cover your bodies with colored cloth?
Why do you stick your tongues in each other’s mouths?
Why do you sit for hours in front of screens with moving pictures?
Why do you exchange pieces of paper and disks of metal?
Why do you kill each other?
Why don’t you feed starving people?
Why do you lock your neighbors in cages?
Why do you judge others by their skin color?
Why do you labor so strenuously?
Why do you run circular courses and repeatedly lift heavy objects?
Why are men in uniforms of one color placed in arenas opposite men in uniforms of another color while people look on and cheer the progress of first one and then the other group?
Why are there establishments where men give money to women who take off their clothes?
Why do you hide inside buildings when people on the other side of your walls are being mistreated?
Why do people with projectile weapons patrol your streets?
Why are some of you lonely when there are so many of you on the planet?
Why do you keep producing more offspring when you can’t even take care of those who are already alive?
Why are some men and women paired together?
Why are there people without places to sleep when there are so many empty buildings?
Why do you die?
Why do you have so many languages?
Why do some of you tell others what to do…
And why do people do what others tell them to do?
Can each of you think for himself?
Why are you so dependent on machines?
Why aren’t your most intelligent people also the wealthiest?
Why don’t people do what they enjoy…
Why aren’t people more productive and creative?
Why do you kill yourselves?
Why do you believe in UFO’s but not in God?
We can’t help you,
An Alien!
