A paradise awaits us all
Down the street, and around each corner
There is a better corn field
A chicken coop, or pen

The house of the madonna
The palace of the rich
The cave of the withdrawn
The ones who must dig the ditch

We live together in this world
On land and on the sea
Soon we will reach again
Beyond our meagre sky

One wonders what is out there
What is it really like
We peer into the distance
Where have the aliens gone

We think that we must be alone
We know that is not true
So where the heck are they all
Busy with their own

The evolution of all species
No two at all the same
Even here upon our planet Earth
Mankind seems supreme

We communicate with the others
They communicate with us
But different as we are
Even individual humans are not the same

How can we expect to relate
To an alien different as we expect
We will relate and so will they
I wonder what we’ll say
And how.

The reach of Mankind
The reach of alien kind
How far out are we reaching
What is out there beyond our eyes

We see the edge of the Universe
Yet the edge it is not
It’s only that it’s as far as we can see
We wonder what’s beyond that

Is it the same so far out there
We hypothesize multiple Universes
But like so many things in our past
Are there just concepts we know not yet

The Earth was flat to early Mankind
And yet we were so blind
Blind we are still our limits
We wonder wonder we

What is the quantum world
Can we control and manage it
Like we manage all we know
We know it not where will it lead
What is a human soul

Where does our essence come from
Is it natural or somehow given
Will we seek more than is out there
I wonder aliens be

We have our minds we have our brains
Ruled by quantum fields
Can aliens from far away
Read our minds with us communicate

Do we really need to physically
Go to stars afar
If there is quantum entanglement
Can we not travel that way

Would we link up with aliens
In some engineering quest
To do what we must do
Just like them all the rest

On Earth we can communicate
From one side to the other
Something called Skype from one side
To the other magic age

If we can do this presently
And we have come so far
In such a short time
The beginning of Mankind

Our progress seems phenomenal
It was just the other day
The Planet Earth looked flat to us
And it did not rotate

What can we learn
How quickly learn
In the flashing of a light
We soon could see the other side
The future our delight
