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)
