At issue, agendas:
they do as they will,
and will "give of themselves"
to dispense "bitter pills"!
.
...Still, ...I hear a drum
in the distance, at times,
...and would dance to the beat
of that faraway rhyme!
.
See, I'm hearing dirges
of "sad, tortured souls"—
too many, by far,
from cruel rocks and harsh shoals!
Smashed by our cowardice,
dashed on its stones,
bashed to oblivion,
they're rejected—alone!
.
"So, what of it, friend;
like, what is their deal?
...What's it 'besets' them?"
...Your "skeptics" will squeal.
.
They say they're "abducted"...
by "persons" unknown—
invaded, "dissected," abused, (!)
these disclose!
.
Then, treated with ridicule,
and dismissed as "fringe stuff"
they're shoved to the rear,
so they don't get "enough."
.
"Enough of what, pray?"—
your 'Bunkie will sneer,
as it wallows its ignorance
and fondles its fear...
.
Why... honest attention!
Some lack of contempt!
A "contempt" too reflexive—
and bereft any sense!
.
...And that just to start!
Then, impassioned concern...
from circumspect persons
who wish but to learn!
.
There are too many people
affected by this
to casually dismiss
with a snear and a hiss!
Though, this is the mindset
of "mainstreams," who try...
to trivialize that
which has impacted lives!
.
They DO the same thing
with the other "big issues"—
the rape of our planet ...
our "ethics" of tissue!
They DON'T cop to truth
plainly glaring disgust;
it's plain (as a "nose"!)
they're abusing our trust!
.
Quality people
have pondered these questions,
suggesting invasion (!)
or strange infestation (!!),
but "mainstreams" will wallow
their "party-line creep"—
then sell us their lullaby's
aberrant sleep!
.
Too! "Researchers," "debunkers,"
and "skeptics" agree
to opinions they have...
that they're comfy with, see?
They're grasping at straw,
or whatever they'd find...
to prop up gross egos
as bound... as confined!
.
I know folks, myself!
They're salt of the Earth!
They're community pillars
for what THAT is worth,
but others demean them
with judgments and labels,
dismiss them, too quickly,
as fictions or fables!
.
They'd nothing to gain,
had so much to lose.
They've been harried
...and tortured...
abused and contused!
Ignored and dismissed
or rejected, they fear...
that they're crazy (or worse!),
...though what's worse is right here!
.
Big brother awakens
and becomes autocratic.
Society subsumes all good sense
in the static.
Predators have every law
on their side
and the "culture" supports
this betrayal... with pride!
.
So, YES (!) we're a symbol
of where we're amiss,
where WE void control
to a destiny missed!
.
We would evade
our great chance to show courage—
to wallow in ignorance,
misled and discouraged?
We'd be supporters
of that which confines?
...We'd be our own product
of terror, besides?
.
No! We'd opt for bravery
and spit in the eye
of whatever confines us
for reasons described!
.
See? "We're not alone (!)",
say the millions of persons
in studies conducted
or in polls that we've had.
"We're not alone (!),"
say the suffering people
affected by terror—
who are feeling quite bad!
.
"We're not alone (!),"
is the message of history.
"We're not alone (!),"
as the evidence says!
"We're not alone (!),"
but embracing a cowardice—
pretending a solitude
that we shan't possess!
.
Something's occurring
that hides in the shadows;
something's occurring
that they won't admit.
Something's occurring
that opens the floodgates
for interesting futures,
...and we'd best equip!
.
"Something" is touching,
just, too many lives—
I know some myself,
and they're wrongly despised.
They're WRONGLY mistrusted,
and WRONGLY suspected.
They're telling a truth
as they see it! Respect it!

No. The "beast" is first, us. We're our OWN alien!
