Man the extraterrestrial
who is temporary here on
a mission but completely
misdirected and lost within
in fulfilling his purpose.
He is lost in his paradise,
distracted by the mundane
and the pesky troubles
he created by himself,
power hungry and
destructive in nature.
He is so occupied to subdue
and dominate others,
struggling all the time that
he forgot to really live and
never remembered the
reason why he was here.
Forgetting he will never go
back home with anything he
accomplished and accumulates
but only the profound
experience garthered.
All his labors are in vain
for destruction still awaits him
for all the empires he built
must come down as past
experience has revealed
it's rise and fall.
Love is all he is required to learn,
to be compassionate,
full of bowel of mercies,
tolerant of the weak,
helpful in all his ways,
understanding in all his
decisions and dealings,
mindful in circumventing
circumstances,
corrupt free and upright,
polished and raised as
an exulted being
for he is not earthly.
Though partially living on
earth but just for awhile,
he is a resident alien of
the universe for he is
an extraterrestrial being
and must return to where
he came from.
