UFO

 

 

Free like a cancerous

Bluebird

Drowned and choked

By years of abuse

Open eyes and

Spread wings

Never seeing the

Light being

Confused at the

Sight of it

Advertisements

Hidden messages

Viewed behind

Sunglasses

Awake but asleep

At the same time

Leave the nest

Find your legs

Go to school

Get a job

Get married

Accumulate debt

Grow old

Die

Bullshit

Not this bird

I want to fly

Above the world

With the aliens
