Fermi'S Paradox       
                          
                                          
 On  Earth (The  Planet Where  I  Live) A 
 Lot  Of  Us  Have Antennas On Our Houses 
 Or  Balconies,   We   Have  Built  Large 
 Antennas For Larger  Bandwith,  We  Have 
     Build Specialized Antennaes For      
    Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them   
 Into  Orbit),  We'Ve Built Large As Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve Virtually Built  An Antenna With A 
          Dish As Large As Earth.         
                                          
 We'Ve  Learned About Our Position In The 
     Solar System, Our Solar Systems      
 Placement  In   The   Galaxy,   And  Our 
 Galaxys Placement In  The Local Cluster, 
 And Our  Local  Clusters  Place In The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And The  Suns Moving Around The 
 Center  Of The  Galaxy  At Velocity  And 
 The  Galaxy  Is Moving  Toward Andromeda 
   And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise    
 Around  The Galaxy.  And We As A Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And Despite  All This,  Despite All  Our 
   (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar    
 Radio  Programmes  Out In Fucking  Space 
 At The  Speed  Of  Light  (Light Is  Our 
  Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!), 
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
    Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious   
 Beaming  Of  All  Our Secrets  In  Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No       One       Has       Answered

              So Why Is That?             
                                          
 Most  Opponents  To Intelligent  Life In 
 The Universe Say  It'S Because  You Need 
 A Class  One-Or-The-Other  Star And  The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance Away From The Star (Like  There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But  Really   Isn'T   That  Keeping  The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I Think Everyone Agrees That We Have  No 
 Idea What  We'Re Doing (And  It Probably 
                  Shows)
