Alien

[Spoken word]
From the land of endless night come I, an alien from afar, spewn forth upon your pleasant sphere, so much like you and yet so unalike

Am I the you before, the you you were when your world was new? Or am I the you, that you will be tomorrow? Through me you see your future, or your past. I know not which, for I come from that spark of light so far in space your mind the distance could not comprehend

It was once my home, and calls to me when I look up into the void. But it is not the verdant place your planet is, that warms and cools you as the seasons go. Oh, no. My mind recalls a seething cauldron flung among the stars and satellites and galaxies of boundless time. There, through evolution, I became the creature I am now. No heart or feelings show in me. Perhaps I am better off than you, for I see things without emotion, as they are. Some may envy me, but I pay a price to be from human feelings free. Perhaps in me you see your destiny

From the land of endless night come I, an alien from afar, spewn forth upon your pleasant sphere, so much like you and yet, so unalike
