Holiday

I’m going to take a holiday
Away from human nonsense
I’m going to go away
To a place with deep trenches
And tall fences…
I’m going to take a sabbatical
A sabbatical away from this
Backward life
I’m taking a trip away from hell
To find my peace
Apart from your kind of strife
I’m leaving you earthlings all behind
Leaving to find some sort of peace
Because I’m not born of your form or kind
I come from an advanced and alien race…
I’m going to find my spaceship
And find my fellow aliens not of here
And then we’re going to take a trip
Into the stars until they all disappear.
