This Is Fiction

They came from above,
Or at least from higher than us.
The took us to their leader.
They told us to stand here.
They told us to sit there.
They told us to eat this.
They told us to wear that.
They took music most human,
and gave us numbers, good for counting.
They took all of our natural arrangements for words,
and gave us back just one.
They produced people
Made for manufacturing money.

K.A. Applegate (and maybe Calvin)
Warned me about the brain-stealing aliens.
Shame on me for thinking this is fiction.
