Alien
by Kelly Riley

I am just an alien
Far away from home
I feel kind of out of place
No matter where I roam

I am not a shade of green
No antennas on my head
My fingers are not sticky
Regardless of what you've read

However I'm peculiar
In a way I am unique
I've got something different
It's something many seek

It's not a laser rifle
Or a shiny UFO
No
it isn't quite an object
You can possess it though

It isn't of this world
But it came to dwell on Earth
So we could all obtain it
And in it find some worth

Once you take it in
It will change you to the core
It's then you are an alien
You're different than before

Then you're purpose isn't simply
New life and civilization
It's to spread the gift thereof
To every race and nation

For we desire to assimilate
No person should be lost
But in order to be alien
Make sure to count the cost
