Extraterrestrial

Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)



Extraterrestrial

Through dimensions of space and time
We search on our quest to find
Life or meaning of life as we know it;
None of our quests have answers to show it.

Our world is a bubble of fortune and chance.
Elements coming together in a cosmic dance.
One chance in a billion; slim odds indeed.
Out of billions of stars we have yet to find life or seed.

There’s something out there we have yet to find.
It’s a matter of putting our matter to mind.
A question of patience, every step that we take.
To believe we’re alone is a dubious mistake.

Some day will come in a matter of time,
When life is discovered, it’ll be sublime.
We may be disappointed to find an amoeba or two
Living its life in a primordial stew.

We’re looking for life without ability to see
Even through numbers, there’s more that can be.
Extraterrestrial - the day the world stood still.
We continue our search and one day it will.
