This Strange Land Poem by Krystyn Maynard

This Strange Land

Rating: 5.0


I wander this strange land.
Bumped into the tin woodman.
Hope he helps get me home.
I wander this strange land.
I met a cowardly lion who is afraid to fight.
I wander this strange land.
I met a powerful man who lives in emerald city.
I trusted him but he fooled us.
I wander this strange land.
Bumped into a scarecrow who is looking for a brain.
I wander this strange land.
I meet the wicked witch of the west.
She enslaves the winkies.
Takes me and the lion as prisoners.
The flying monkey incapacitates the tin woodman and scarecrow.
We were sent by the wizard of Oz to kill her.
She underestimates me.
I kicked her into a bathtub filled with water.
She melts into a puddle.
I wander this strange land.
Bumped into Glinda.
She tells me to click my heels 3 times.
I treaded on the green covered path.
The sunlight touches my eyes.
I opened the door and entered in.
I am home.

Fascinating poem, Like many science fiction stories about advanced aliens who come into conflict with earth's institutions of oppression, the titular stranger takes on a Christ-like aspect in this strange land.
