Go Back Where You Came From (a Spoof)

You don’t look like me.

Your putrid shade of green

wont’ match my earth.

Your three eyes

on the back of your head

don’t know where you’re going,

just where you’ve been.

You don’t talk like me

sound doesn’t resonate

from your absent mouth

but from your two toed feet.

Your head is not

big enough for a brain

and if it was,

you don’t think like me.

You wear no clothes

your skin is thick –

you aren’t like everyone

else on my earth.

We strived for independence

from beings like you.

Everyone here

has to be exactly alike -

except for the infirm,

the old and the weak,

the black, the brown, the white,

the red and yellow,

the ones who can’t think

or are not proportional.

Now that I think of it

we are all different

but equal.

My alien friends,

you’re stamped

from your own mold.

You’re not independent

or equal or accepted

by our Earth

so go back to

where you came from

because we

are independent

and free thinkers,

without prejudice,

we proclaim for all

to hear, and, furthermore,

I do declare,

you might drain

our economy.
