I saw a baby today <br />An alien gave birth to it <br />It spewed it out with blood and faecal matter <br />And bile and grime and soda and drugs <br />And everything else it had created done or seen <br />The baby spread open it’s arms and cried “Mother! ” <br />“What have you done? You who said never to become has become” <br />Then the baby went to sleep, but died at the age of 13 <br />After it realised what life means <br />The aliens all wept, their green arms covering their green faces <br />Any slowly died after realising what creating life means<br /><br />Chris Mann<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-alien-parents/
