The Invasion

They’re coming! They’re coming!

In the faint night air

Their feet rustle.

Hurry let’s hide daddy!

Rustles amplified

Into rolling thunders of stampede.

We need to get out of here!

Clouds of fog puffed into the air

Like a train traveling through the cold.

They’re going get us!

Erie shouts of desperation

Of ghost heard in the distance

Oh no!

Stood there, faces of stone

No mercy,

Inhuman

Daddy!

 

Where is our Homeland?

They say our people is always seeking our homeland

Migrating and searching

For decades,

To centuries,

To millennium,

Even until the present

The search continues…

South to southeast..

West…….

North to far Far East

Across mountains….

Jungles……..plains…

……..deserts

Still remain

Searching…

Europe to China

America to Americas

Walking…walking

Still….

………….searching

Alien

January 1987,

Stepped into a world that is very different

Lights at night, cars, and skyscrapers

Scare of giants, they try to eat you

In the eyes of an immigrant

Everything is unclear

Only belief…

Is from the rumors we hear

A sense of fear shakes even the bold

Scary tales of America were once told

Standing outside the airplane

Now faced with

Many faces

All staring…

Looking….

Sky eyes

Snow skin

                        Shadow people

Burnt hair

                        Pierced

            Fierce

All unique and different

Friends or foes?

We don’t know……

Two Worlds

They are too old, they don’t get you

We read alphabets, they read scriptures

They practice oral tradition

While ours are written

Tales they told

For us to listen

Contradicting,

What they taught us in school

Which is true?

So confusing……

Spirits they use as guides

Science we use in our everyday lives

To survive…..

They are self-sufficient

We reliant

In compliance with the modern economy

They, still in a primitive society

Two worlds collide

See eye to eye

Only one thing in common….

Both Iu-Mienh inside.
