For those who don't belong...


Not quite human
Not quite alien
Not quite a clear image yet
Not sure what to make of it
Not quite organic
Not quite aligned
Not quite a clear picture here
Not sure what do with this

What a picture for a wall
A boy so thin
He can’t be seen at all
What a story for a book
A man so weak
No one dares to look

Is it such a crime?
Are we never to be heard?
Will you never hear us speak
Because our mouths are blurred?

Is this so far fetched?
We have never been relieved
You shot us not a glance
Since the first we ever breathed

Not quite human
No, not quite there
Not quite human
No, not quite square
Here, somewhere in-between
Not quite alien
But close enough in shapes
Not quite alien
But a pose away from apes

Nevermind the black furry sweater, the soft undertones tell speak power and light.

A pose away from apes was a nice touch.
Forever trying to answer the question of
who and what we  are.  Very good read
