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)
