listening from afar

why are they whining
so much,
they ask
from light years away,
listening
to earth on their fancy
alien listening
device.
put your ear up
to the wall
with this glass and listen
to all of them, whining
day and night,
playing the victim
card
over gender, race,
religion.
if I hear my mommy didn't
hug me when I was little,
one more time...
what's wrong with these people
on earth.
geeze I don't know. losers.
they laugh, and high
three each, because of only
having three fingers
that aren't even
fingers, but
sticky Velcro like
stalks of asparagus.
aren't you glad,
one says to the other
that we all
believe in the same
things
and that our skin is
of one color,
green?
