May 27: Feeling Lonely
A poem by Roger Powell about the search for extra-terrestrial civilisations.

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.
