She was lying on her back, her body sweating under intense flood lights
And from the difficult labor, her head cringing from the incessant pain
All around her, all she could see were the faces of extraterrestrial midwives
She grunted out curses and screamed at her captors as they took her child away
She frantically tried to lunge at these monsters, but all her efforts were in vain
It was as if she was strapped by invisible wires, her body just wouldn’t budge
Then the surgeons prepped jagged syringes, and thrust them into her neck
As his assistants tended to the newborn, the chief surgeon watched over the mother
Making sure she remembers nothing of what has just occurred
He pierced her cranium with nodes and wires, hard coding her brain with
A memory retardant, so she’d never recall these past hours and never recognize her son
Rigorous tests and calculations were run on the newborn infant
Tubes and needles in every body cavity, yet the boy remain silent
Taking the pain as spikes and antennae were jammed into his skull
He was tagged with a sub-dermal tracker underneath the right temporal lobe
His blood, semen, and eye fluids extracted and placed in silver containers
When his form was processed, he was placed into an exotic looking incubator
Once the doctors sealed the latch, strange gases packed the chamber
The boy, now code-named AU-1704c, began experiencing violent muscle spasms
Uncontrollable shaking and spasmodic twitching inhibited the young experiment
While he was in this convulsant state, his physical body was maturing and expanding
Where his postnatal development was rapidly growing to the equivalent of a 5-year old in minutes
AU-1704c stepped out of the chamber, exhausted as he nearly passed out
The doctors lied him down on the floor, and shoved more needles in his head
He was receiving the same hard-coding that his mother had to undertake
But unlike his mother, the boy was also receiving telepathic images
Images of the human race, laughing, smiling, then eventually dying
As AU-1704c was nearing the earth’s atmosphere, he could sense these humans
He felt a shrilling coldness travel down his spine as he was dropped off
He was alone in the Nevada mountains, while his mother was taken abroad with the aliens
Fortunately for him he was placed near a stretch of road, he waited several hours when passersby stopped
They were worried and called the police, who took the boy to a foster home
Little did his new parents know that he was not of this world…

Wow. I got shivers reading this. It does read like a short story, but at the same time I think it has a certain flow that also lets it be read as a poem. Really, I have chills. Good write.

Very Interesting
Doesn't read much like a poem> sure you aren't writing a short story? The text is good,the story line intereting. Must be in the hands of aliens,tampering with humans.
