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)
