From Mars? No, from South America!


To some, an accent is annoying.
Indelible proof of an Alien.
"Go back", they seem to say
as they walk away, disturbed to no end.

"I tried to answer to your question", I think.
I even smiled.
This language should be universal.
I looked into your eyes.
I meant no threat.

I


          spoke


                         slowly.


I pronounced the words correctly.
That seemed to make it worse.

At the end, I say, what part of
"Go to hell, then!"
Don't you understand?
