May 27: Feeling Lonely

Extra-terrestrials
A poem by Roger Powell about the search for extra-terrestrial civilisations.

Parkes Radio Telescope image by Roger Powell

We're searching the waves
We're looking for news
Of life on Centauri 
Or perhaps Betelgeuse.


They tell us the stars are measured in billions
So surely the galaxy's teeming
And planets are there in their multiple squillions
So why aren't their signals streaming?


We're searching the waves
We're looking for news
Of life on Centauri 
Or perhaps Betelgeuse.

Maybe they're out there looking for us
Or maybe they simply don't give a cuss
Hiding in space or lost in the past
We may be the first and we could be the last.


We're searching the waves
We're looking for news
Of life on Centauri 

Or perhaps Betelgeuse.

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.

Wise words

"Irrational faith is feeding murderous intolerence throughout the world."
Richard Dawkins
