His brain can't escape the tapestry of horror's images
gawking in disbelief out the ship's transparent portal,
unable to silence the screams over how aliens abducted him from dying world,
and mutating his body from its glorious appearance,
into this hideous creature, repugnant vile shape resembling their images.
Now they come with their hellish, cruel tests,
probing his mutilated flesh's membrane in such unspeakable terror and agony.
Praying for death, but knowing it will never come when sought,
insides burning from the repugnant diet forced down his throat.
Somewhere in the madness, all the tears and cries stop,
peace comes from touch of laser prod, sleep brings first relief from the nightmare.
Opening his eyes to sight of strange planet,
understanding intuitively they will leave him on this rock,
will it be a hostile world, shall he survive among its beasts?
Fear drones its panic into his veins as he is transported to place of his future demise.
Left alone, watching saucer sail away
before discovering a female who looks like him,
though she is more an animal with a primitive mind in her beastly nature,
he resigns himself to make this realm a life on planet they aliens called Earth,
accepting his fate, though hating this ugliness they said was human.
Over the eons, his descendants never aware
their real past, as mixed breed of mortal and dragon seed,
haunted in their fantasies by creating tales about that other world's true parent identity,
ever thinking aliens like them were brothers
instead of galactic zoo keepers practicing genetic engineering.
