In the alienation of us

In the alienation of us

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Since man’s arrival
man has played a pivotal
role in his own destruction.
Earth has plummeted
to an all time low
coming apart
at the seams
where man in his
gravitational ways
towards dominance
pulls the final thread.

In alien news today
a human couple
in captivity
had a baby boy
conceived naturally.
Another male and female
through artificial
insemination program
have had no luck
and showed a marked
disinterest in each other
- they may be gay.
More news from the universe zoo
a tribe of humans escaped
their enclosure but
were recaptured
and are now back
in their caged surrounds.
A electrical fence
was at fault.
Speaking to one alien witness.
She said they were scared
at the time because
they left their lasers at home,
but glad to hear
of their recapture.
Steps shall be taken
on their breeding
to prevent a world
of humans reaching
eight billion again.

In the twilight zone
beware of the house
that has walls that talk
and show you the exit door
to another dimension.

Finally, if a shadow
walks and talks
do not accept
an invitation
to go inside -
it’s another black hole.

The below lines Andrew. So damn good.
"In the twilight zone

I don't like old place. Old hotels walls could tell you terrible secret. Don't go into the closet. You may never return. I am lucky my friends. The shadows leave me be. They know, I will be coming soon. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

It really is our natural state LOL I am so good at destruction it is what I do! I don't even think about it, it's just a natural proclivity maybe if they put a shock collar on me my behavior would be more prudent and less wasteful and self-destructive? They really need to step it up before we destroy everything
