One day
I was flying high
Above white clouds
I was shot down
Now maybe, just maybe
They didn't see the sign
Or, they decided
Not to believe
I come in peace
Either way I crash landed
In a white neighbourhood
These alien beings
Appeared more terrified of me
Than I was of them
This twist of fate
Put me at some ease
The adults jaws
Down by their feet
The children pointing
Wondering who?
And where I came from?
I approached slowly
Making myself small
As not to scare them off
I tell them
I'm what you'd call an alien
I come from a place of colour
A magical world
Where dreams are true
There's no God
Everyone is king
Even me
Then one little princess said
Then why are you here?
I replied
I'm here to bring colour
Into your lives
And that colour
Is the shadow of white
