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)
