The Question

The Question

The
question.
Alone.
Are we
alone
in the
universe?
Foolish
question.
Unanswerable
question.
Lack
of
logic.
Simple
think.
Limited
recognition.
Great ape
reasoning,
mentality.
Two
trillion
galaxies
in the
observable
universe.
Each with
billions of
stars.
Perhaps
trillions
more
galaxies
over the
horizon.
Beyond
what can
be detected.
Light
currently
seen
millions,
billions
years
in transit.
Ancient 
light
from the
distant
past.
Nothing
detected.
No civilization
signatures.
Who knows
about now?
What’s going
on out
there
now?
How
could
we possibly
know?

We only ever assume that all lifeforms will look, act and communicate simular to us and need the same planetary set up that we have....arrogance. x

Thank you for reading.
