The Real Truth

In the forest exists a creature,

One possessing many a feature.

Not like anything you might find,

It has no mouth and speaks mind-to-mind.

Separated from his people, by many years of light,

He will continue to partake, in the seemingly unending fight.

Crash-landed on a planet not his own,

Although he is alien, He is not alone.

Along with several youths of the planet,

They are referred to each as a "bandit."

Together they fight an alien race,

Known as the Yeerks from the deepest space.

They need the help to win their war.

But they won't ask or tell you at your door.

If you want to know,

Then to the forest you should go.

Beware however,

Once you know,

You may never

Truly Go.
