The movie that I now recall
That has a theme, celestial
Another tale with pod that hatches…
Invasion of the Body Snatchers!
It’s got that feel of paradigm
The paranoia of its time
A sense of trust and what we knew
Had been destroyed, become unglued
This movie came and hit a nerve
Disquiet is the theme it served
With villain that’s an astral guest
That floats through space until it rests
On planet that is ripe for taming
Subjugate is what they’re aiming
So earth with air of “godliness”
Replaced by mien of “poddiness”
For how they act is most robotic
Yet mantra they repeat’s hypnotic
Be free of angst, and fear and hate
But live in cold and deadened state
Disengaged and apathetic
No liveliness or joy frenetic?
To aliens, seems quite okay
But as a human? Hey, no way!
The few that see the truth are chased
They see a city laid to waste
And like good horror, people fall
It seems the writing’s on the wall
This foe, in numbers much too great
Will take control and dominate
The ending of this film will stun
If not seen, I won’t spoil the fun
But I implore, miss not this gem
Superb take on us vs. them!
