Hello Mum
Dad.
Hope you are keeping well
just a few lines
to say
i’m still trying to find
a home
for all of us
to live and share one day
on this beautiful
blue planet
The beings
called human
who live here
are so weird
yes means no
and no means yes
i cannot figure
Almost all of them
are white liars
little liars
downright big liars
they might as well
hold a placard saying
liar liar soul for hire
i cannot figure
Coupled with all
the cheats and thieves
one on every corner
they are called
boss never sweats gaffer
is a psycho
worst of all
are politicians
devious lot
but get this
humans vote
for politicians to lead
every four years
to have exactly
the same misery
for the next four years
i cannot figure
I’m not painting
a very good
picture
am i ?
However
humans
can be so friendly
warm kind and generous
unbelievably compassionate
so full of love for others
ingenious
so ingenious
they have invented
their downfall
artificial intelligence
robots will do
all the work
but what will happen
to all the humans
i ask myself
surely some will
disappear
i cannot figure
Finding it hard
to adapt to assimilate
to be honest
i’m homesick
they call me
the illegal alien
all i want
is a chance
to grow my own drugs
to accumulate folding gear
so i can have
my very own home
but what i find alien
is they have guns and bombs
to kill with impunity
other humans
that don’t conform
the ones
who have different colours
red brown white black
slant eyes
belief systems
and races
not looking good for us
is it?
i cannot figure
And just yesterday
i found out
a geezer called
Elongated Aroma
wants to rob
all of our resources too
now that’s a smell
of shit
that lingers
i cannot figure.
Love you see you soon xxx
