 I stood in my backyard cooking my food and a whirl of wind swirled around me; I turned and saw a tiny speck flying towards me. It landed in my hand; until it started growing I had been holding it. It began to grow bigger and bigger. I dropped it out of my hand in the grass and it continued to grow it grew the size of my car. It slowly opened up and out came two green figures. “What are you?” I asked. “We are Martians we come from light-years away”, said the Martian. “Well, what have you come for?” I asked. “We have come to learn about America and its way of life here” the Martian said. “Sure” I said taking my food off the grill. The two Martians following me into the house. Have a seat I said pointing to the couch. “What are your names?” I asked. “I am Unk” said the first Martian. “And I am Chak” the other Martian said. “Well Chak, Unk let me tell you about America”. A long time ago from the earliest of time Women ruled the world, they were allowed to do everything; votes, equal pay, receive an education, they were equal amongst men. America is the land of the free and home of the brave. So they say. Back when slavery occurred, whites fought and fought for the freedom of the African Americans who were enslaved. They beat them and whipped them to try and prove their love to them. They were determined to have equality. Today, America is accepting to whatever a person has to offer; same sex- marriage (in every state), being obese is the new look. Gangbangers are paid to kill each other because the planet is overcrowded, so the police really don’t act on their activities. They’re afraid for their lives. America is beautiful, clean, safe, fun, and welcoming. That’s what a government official might tell you, but not me my Martian friends I won’t lie to you, but I must inform you everything I have just told you is a lie. America is harsh, judgmental, and unsafe, it’s the complete opposite of what I have told you; women aren’t paid the same as men, in the beginning they couldn’t even vote let alone voice their opinions. Majorities of their cities are polluted. Before you go I must give you ( the Libido for the ugly, Body Image, and The hunger Games) read these, these will help, but my friend Kwynn can tell you more so visit her she’s right next door. “Ok, Goodbye” they said heading to kwynn’s 

I woke up to a startling sound

A sound so profound

3 little green martians from out of town

Landed in MY backyard.

“They look like clowns! “  I shrieked.

Over my mouth, my hand, I keeped

Until all 3,  green and bleek

Walked towards my door looking mystique

Knock.Knock.Knock

I reached for my glock

In my drawer, in the kitchen

Knock. Knock. Knock.

But it was missin

Then I saw slime that glistened

As it oozed under the door, kissin

The “Welcome Home” mat

“Difficult was that” said one martian as it slurped into green form

“Agree do I” said the second

The 3^rd smiled with its Jordan 6 on it’s head.

“Name Zurlock, this is Zurlod, and this is Trey.”

“Nice to meet you” keeping my hand at bay, looking at the greeniest goo

Zurlock gave me dap, and that was…awkward.

There was 3 martians in my house.

Not even a mouse, could say that was untrue

“Tell me something, umm, is the land of the red white and blue?”

Zurlok asked.

“Land of dreams, Themes, and smiley things?” Zurlod asked

“Home of the brave and where White Castles is craved?”

Trey asked while his stomach rumbled.

My tounge was jumbled, I almost fumbled

This martians came to my house to want to know about America!

This caused a huge amount of hysteria

In my mind

However, on the outside, I looked fine

I went to the den, and then

Grabbed 3 movies

“Higher Learning”, “To Kill A Mockingbird” and “ Driving Miss Daisy”

I came back, feeling hazy and replied

“ Welcome to America. The land of red, white and blue. Where racism is true, and people are judged on the outside rather than their insides.

Because in America, appearance is a priority, education is a minority and ignorance is the majority.

There is no pride, it has died with JFK MLK and Michael J

All we have now to lean on with HOPE is Obama

He is what we call nowadays “dope”

I apologize sincerely for the misconceptions you believed

About dreams

And money that grows on trees

But we are actually in a depression

Financially and emotionally

That is why we are number one for obesity and diabetes

Anyways, here is the catch

America is founded on racism and will never be united

Or a “ United States of America”

I have 3 movies for  you “ Higher Learning”, “To Kill A Mockingbird” and “ Antwonne Fisher”

These movies portray average American citizens

And their experience through racism.”

“Believe not this I can’t. “ said Zurlock.

“Smh” said Trey

I responded with a “ Hey, ya know…it be like that sometimes…take these movies and go to my friend Brandi’s house

She will show  you another view of America!”

I gave the three clowns without any frown the address of Brandi’s house

And off they went, without making dents, with their UFO

And out of my back yard.

This morning I woke up to find a spaceship in my backyard. I couldn't believe it. I never thought that Aliens existed but there they were right in my backyard. When I asked why they had come here, they said that my friend kwynn sent them to me.

"She said you could give us better insight to what America is like," they replied.

"Well I guess I can help you out, I don't know what Kwyn told you but I'm going to give you the truth of America," I said.

"Well there have been movies that predict how the world will end," I said.

The first movie prediction was 2012. It was supposed to predict exactly when the world will end. America will be the first part of the world to go.

The second movie prediction was Armageddon. It’s showed all types of natural disasters and violence that is actually happening in reality.

"And that's not even the best part," I said.

The last movie prediction that came out about the ending of the world was The Day the Earth Stood Still. At the end of the movie, the Earth stops. It's frozen over with a large sheet of ice and Earth is just silently rotating in the atmosphere.

"Well I think we've learned all we need to know, thanks for the insight," they said.

"Wait you're leaving so soon," I cried.

"Oh, yes we don't want to go down with you Americans, goodbye," They said.

And like that they were gone.
