the aliens are not coming

The aliens have never
come near
here

don't be impatient
son
they're just too
far away
from this galaxy

i know the cosmos is vast
and the stars
tell us of the past

but

the aliens don't really
care about us
the way we care
about them

maybe
they just don't need
oxygen
or water
the way
you and I
do

The aliens
are not coming for us
son
they're just too far away
to hear
our simple songs

the whales
the jungles
the ice
in our sphere

they don't care about
what's here

they don't care
about demons
they don't care
about lust

they're not coming for us
son

want as you must
