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)
