Martian
I praise the random stream in a foreign land
 For though seemingly insignificant; it holds a sort of charm
 As I do, as I am the stream in a metaphorical world
 And those irritating weeds that disrupt our grandparent’s gardens
 For I pity those frail beings
 It was not them who decided they were to born green, despised wisps of challenge
 As I have no control on my name or my appearance
 Therefore don’t assume we own evil
 Though then comes cactus
 Oddly shaped, viciously symmetrical 
 Has the ability to be poisonous
 Yet has the power to solely be an image, a memory
 I relate to sparkling water and Swiss chocolate
 For the sparkles in the water give me the sensation that I am indeed alive
 And the sweetness in the chocolate makes me realize the world isn’t all malady
 Bliss is rare, though certainly existent
 And the words I often chant, “I cannot handle you”
 Shows my frustration and inability to express my emotions
 Besides for chuckling those words
 And in Siberia I belong
 Away from this bubble of tragic ignorance
 And into a world that I desire to create, my very own nihilistic world
 Though New York is where my body first inhabited
 And here, in this city of vulgarity 
 I have become part of, a piece of the complex puzzle we claim to be New York
 And though I constantly fear this place may affect me in a way that would make me a 
 “robot”
 Make me eternally blind, convinced of immortality
 Therefore, I wish to be Jane Heir
 For she, as I, could care less about the standards of beauty or stature
 Just to be is enough
 Francesca and I are oddly similar, unique yet identical
 And that, merely that fact, makes the illusion of life worth living
 Do you believe in meaning? 
 For I don’t, as we are all egotistic animals who claim to rule people
 And I resemble fire
 And I will eternally burn until I have conquered all
 And if I were an extinct bird such as the Teradactil
 I would sing,sing,sing
 Sing until my wings wiggled off
 And until my babies flew off into the pollution of oxygen
 And if I were a Salmon
 I would swim,swim,swim until my gills lost their motivation
 And I died, traveling the stream
 I hope to one day play the Electric guitar on a graffitied stage
 With a crowd of nihilists chanting my philosophy
 As I died absolved in power
 And we all are living in a Blank Generation:
