By some it is said
that no other
intelligent life
may be found
down here
or in space -
they'd be here
by now
after all
the billions of years
gone around
since the first cloud
of gas
was exploded
by no one
knows what -
but the claim
that they would be here
by now
is a plot
and a dream -
it is thinking we are kings
of all
we can see
and forgetting
we are
newly arrived
on the scene

Yes Gwilym - most of our problems spring from this attitude that we are the masters of the universe and know it all.
ReplyDeleteYes, we may know more than we knew in the dark ages but as you say Pat there still exists the attitude "we are the masters of the universe and know it all" and this is the problem.
