They came on waves of warped space-time,
Riding gravity's ripples, unseen, unheard.
In the blink of an eye, your neighbor's mime,
Replaced, reprogrammed, absurd.

Doppelgangers walk our streets,
With hollow eyes and stolen skin.
Each handshake, each smile deceits,
As our world becomes their win.

They feast on possibility,
Draining quantum states with glee.
Our reality, their facility,
For powering technology we'll never see.

Trust evaporates like morning dew,
Is that your lover or a cosmic thief?
Paranoia grips, both old and new,
As certainty becomes too brief.

They harvest our connections, one by one,
Social nodes plucked like ripe fruit.
Families fracture, friendships undone,
In this silent, surreal pursuit.

The fabric of our lives unravels fast,
As aliens wear our faces, steal our names.
How long can humanity last,
In these body-snatching games?

Earth spins on, a hollowed shell,
Its core now alien, strange, and cold.
In this cosmic, quantum hell,
Our stolen lives power their untold.
