Elucidating Questions

Maybe the reason there are no aliens

Is that a truly advanced civilization

Would know their planet is the perfect place

The only place in space for them

Where they were born and grown and raised

That gives them air and food and space

That they would never bleed her dry

And then turn their malice towards the sky

There would be no drive to leave

If they took good care and let her breathe

Maybe they’re all safe at home

Knowing that there’s no need to roam

They have accepted that life is fleeting

And spend every day knowing its meaning

Perhaps a truly advanced civilization

Has no need for space domination
