Do you understand the world? The hate, the killing, the pain, the deception? Do you understand yourself? Do you understand your heart? Weare all connected, but we canat see it. We all love and cry and fear and feel, but we donat know it. As aliens contemplate conquering earth, they can see from above the beauty and the chaos we have created, and they wish to show us not how to be objective, but how to be compassionate. In this collection of poems, these aliens will shock you, sadden you and reach through to your core, these aliens that we are when we take a break from being human.
