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)
