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)
