This is the last in my series. I hope you enjoyed reading these poems.
If you missed any, the links are below (in order).
Aliens living peacefully as human
Were forced out of their homes
War was declared
It was us against them
The media said they would destroy Earth
In the end, we did that ourselves
Rockets were fired
Bombs were dropped
Explosions rippled across the world
We killed millions of our own
To defeat a few hundred aliens
Who were never a threat to start with
Lila, in her rage killed
Nearly everyone else
Their fear of her and others
From other planets
Sparked violence
By then Lila was only too happy
To retaliate in kind
When she set off to travel
Through time and space
Her soul was pure
Now it’s tainted with blood
On her hands, soaking though
Right down to her core
Becoming the most feared creature
Among us, the last few survivors
We were never the ones
To break her heart, record her humiliation
Destroy her life or kill the ones she loved
But we were never the ones to speak up
I was hoping for that “Doctor Who” style happy ending for our alien heroin, but bloodied, tainted, humiliated, heart-broken will have to do…. loved your serial story all the way through….
