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
I heard some people yelling
And was captured by some guy
They took me to a building
These creatures made of flesh
They removed my space suit
And sent me to the creche
Then people in white lab coats
Came to talk to me
They wanted to communicate
But would not set me free
After being prodded
And poked with needled tubes
I felt myself grow weary
Of these unsightly cubes
Time here has no meaning
And I was tired of their games
The humans were not worth it
So I took up the reigns
Some humans tried to kill me
Some tried to make me tame
But one thing was for certain
Their bones all taste the same.
