I came to see the humans
I’d heard so much about
The others called me crazy
But I had to seek them out
I landed in a corn field
Against a pitch-black sky
The humans were excited
And grabbed me with a cry
They took me to a building
These creatures made of flesh
Who stripped me of my garments
And sent me to the creche
Then people in white lab coats
Arrived to study me
Hoping to communicate
With this bold refugee
But after being prodded
And poked with needled tubes
I felt myself grow weary
Of these unsightly rubes
Exhausted from complying
With their dumb little games
I morphed into a monster
And broke their feeble chains
The humans started screaming
As chaos then ensued
But I was on a mission
And refused to be subdued
Some humans tried to kill me
Some tried to make me tame
But one thing was for certain
Their bones tasted the same.
