.
The tiniest voice
from the farthermost place...
not heard (!)
is its whisper, a murmur... a trace.
Persons "more worthy"
turn ears to re-source,
then choose to ignore
the more sensible intercourse.
.
This commands an attention!
From me, if NOT you!
There is LIFE, not from here (?),
and that's VALUABLE news!
Though we hear it the least,
and then not from the fringe;
where it's stricken and drunken
with rancor, my friend.
.
These facile elitists
use made-pompous science
to counter opposing
progressive alliance!
These prosecute error:
"They" are here and not there
... begins the prerequisite
to becoming aware!
.
We open our minds—
*supposition*!...It's true!
We embolden ourselves
with conjecturing views!
We'll open our eyes,
and take stock when we dare;
it's better we know,
and it's better "they're" there!
.
How is it better?
What is our end?
Where is the profit
contending with "them"?
.
Well, forgetting enrichment,
advancement is there,
there's fellowship proffered
in which we might share!
Fact! Mere "presence" alone
would provoke our alliance!
It'd thrust us to SPACE
with a new self-reliance!
.
...Yeah, we'd clean up our act,
and then do the smart thing;
no longer "apart,"
we would CARE
what "they" think!
"Unmasked" and "exposed"
or no longer "alone"
we'd tend to the circumspect!
...But, change errant tone!
.
Moslem, Christian, Hindu, and Jew
could link up their arms
and then clean up their views!
Gone—the errant derision
for women and gays,
we find that they're
"human," more "us"—friend...
than "they"!
.
...The tragedy's that,
message sent... it's unheard!
It takes a refinement,
(which we lack!) to concur.
We find we cannot...
trust the word of the few...
who say that they're "working"...
but then lie to us, too!
.
We can't "know", you and I,
still, perform all the work.
Perception is worthless...
we're less than alert!
We are disrespected,
denied "right to know..."
what's existed in ink
.
...Then consider our "lives"!
...one without the old limits!
We *REJOICE*! We're released!
We're rewarded and with-it!
.
We're STRENGTHENED to find out
that we're not alone!
Our metal is tested.
We're NOT driven prone!
.
We'd fly to the moons
and the asteroid belts!
We would "soar" and we'd "cleave"
and we'd ring cosmic bells!
.
We'll laugh, and we'll sing;
we'll depend on ourselves.
We'll find new realities:
a robust new health!
...And the tone could be sweet
and so pure, grand, and strong...
now so hollow, hubristic ... and futile!
So? Wrong!
.
A challenge from "voices"
off-planet in space?
That dearth of a whisper
reveals a blank face?
.
Friends, it's all up to us,
and the actions we take!
Are we talented humans,
or talentless fakes?
.
We have the accouterments;
we have what's been needed!
Yet, we waste potential
to stay so conceited?!
.
Will we cop to the end
of our terrible loneliness;
will we wrest from our fear
what it takes and withholds from us?
.
Oh, what will become
of our sad little race!
What is our future?
Is it pride, or disgrace?

Or worse? Futility... My intuition is for optimism regarding a justified pride. That's fact.
