I Come in Peace, Take Me to your Leader

by Ayat Khidir

Twenty two years old and I still somehow managed to be the new kid in class,
Mondays approaching got to whip me up something fast,
Want to make me an impression here,
So maybe I should take about relatable things like emotions
Happiness, sadness and fear.
Maybe I should talk about something funny,
I mean everyone loves a good laugh,
IF you don’t I can do you a solid and call up my professors
Who constitute the psychiatry department staff.
I want to tickle the grey matter of your minds,
In me a Russell Peters a Bernie Mac or a Steve Harvey I hope you find.
I want laugh out loud to be the anthem of your souls,
Through your eyes I hope to make waterfalls explode.
So maybe I should tell you about that time when my brother was in first grade and the teacher asked the whole class what they wanted to be when they grew up. You know how kids are some said a doctor a fireman an astronaut and that kid was really pushing the envelope.
My brother raises his hand up and says: “a king; I want to be a king”,
Teacher politely tried to explain you can’t be such a thing,
Even though she was really nice words like that to a kid they really sting,
So he comes home and tells my dad,
My dad: “oh dear boy why are you mad?
This is here but it’s nothing like that back home,
Wake up early hop a tank and say hello to your thrown.”
Hahahahaha yeah yeah that’s funny or is it?
How about something sad,
Like that time when I was at the hospital and on the floor stretched out was a man nobody paid attention to him,
Everyone thought he was drunk or high,
Typical world stereotyping the homeless guy,
Fifteen minutes later a young doctor thought to examine him
Turns out all the time he had been laying there he was actually dead,
Even colder in that whole room not a single tear was shed
Let’s change the subject, with the bad there’s the good it just life,
Let me bring up words people seem to like, like hubby and wife,
It’s not me its science on romance ratings tend to thrive
For happily ever after people tend to strive
And for some people crazy it freakin drives
No seriously is it just me but I feel like while I was stuck
On that mysterious island I call my life time has really passed by,
I’m now getting wedding invites from girls and guys,
Not even engagements anymore people they just dive.
It feels for me unbelievably surreal
Cute baby pictures on Facebook seriously what’s the deal??
One more RSVP request, one more just one more
And someone I am going to kill!
One final note friendship is the best,
If you have good people around you then on this earth u have been blessed
In closing,
This little birdy is happy she stumbled upon this nest,
Lovely audience thank you, y’all are the best.
