Alienated

I am walking on the shores of the sea, waiting for the waves to touch my feet
The blazing sun and the clear blue waters are new to me
I am not of this world...not from this time

We come from the land of the soil
Where things are dipped in honey and presented by grains of rice
In this new world of which i know nothing
I stand alone time and time again

Though the beings here are not wrong
They act like they do everyday
But all this is new to my eyes
I am not comfortable amongst the big and the green

The eyes glare at me, the mouth snarls at me, the teeth bares at me, the fingers poke me
I hide away in my ship that got me here
Behind my cubicle, amongst the ferns
I feel safe here in my atmosphere

I come here for a short time, wanting to go back, wanting to run away
Is it the world or is the green?
I donot know
Though it fascinates me to be here
Yet i know that i dont belong
Somehow the snarls and the glares attract me more
I move to the edge of my seat
Peeping around to see shyly

The monster opens it's eye slowly
Turing as i turn
Gliding as i glide
Twisting as i twist
Gets hold of me
Opens it's huge jaws and comes to bite me
I smile slyly at him
He doesnot know who i am

Though i am new to this world
The blazing sun and the clear blue water unknown to me
I can smite him where he stands
Can rule what he cant
Can take what he desires
Can crush him as he cries
And finally when i have his hand
I will raise it to the sky
And with all the force that the honey has given me
Bring it down on my head
And finish what never began
