I wonder what it's like
to be a human
I wonder what it's like
to relate
I wonder at the people in the paper
and the one's who've met their fate
I wonder is there something
between my ear drums
that made them burn me at the stake?

Took a ride to find my mind
brought a friend across the line
troubling; no one can save me
now that I'm an alien

I'll tell you what it's like
to be a lie
To cover up the monster in me
with a smile
I wonder at the people who've got stars
and the ones who're lickin up their feet
Must be something in their snarls
that makes my jaw go weak
(what made them burn me at the stake, not all aliens are fakes)

There's no such thing
as real people
so drive your hommage through a lake...

You don't become real until you have to.  Nice poem.

I don't believe there is such a thing as a real person, because "person" is a hard term to define, we come in so many different packages.  Thanks for the response.
