Image of spaceman on planet surface

travelling light
across the universe
I find myself
stuck on this planet
they call earth

I could just
keep on moving
but it is the
strangest of places
with humanoids like us

they have this thing
they call countries
and they kill each other
over scraps of their planet
don’t know how to share

ugly and uncivilised
I know, I know
but I can’t help myself
watching how it unfolds
no matter how ridiculous
