they did not come from royalty
they did not come from royalty
these aliens
from the darkside
& though they thought
what shores they landed upon
they were dead wrong
they fled for reasons
other than their imaginary fears
bringing with them
advanced technologies
certain to change
the existing landscape
in the beginning
they struggled to survive
but more & more arrived
until their numbers
outnumbered all the natives
& immigrants combined
may two thousand twenty-one
