I was thinking about things then it struck me that we could write a community poem if we wanted. I started one below. My title or words are not important so change them as you wish but the theme is related to "SETI" and the concept of the human search for life and meaning.. You don't need to keep my words. They are just a starting point. Always Here If I could say something that meant you raised an eyebrow If I could be so powerful If I could reach out across a thousand miles of cable If I could let you know that today of all days you were here and I heard you If I could crunch another unit and find that star around which life expands If I could stand for something special I would want to stand beside you and look out towards the universe I would want to know that we searched the skies together Only then I would know the search was not in vein We don't have to look upwards to find our best hopes === End of poem === |

Artist: Queensryche Album: Promised Land Title: My Global Mind There's hunger in africa, And anger on assembly lines. At the touch of a button I'm miles away. I want no connection, just information, And i'm gone. I feel so helpless, So i turn my gaze to another place. My global mind reaches out for the truth. Why try holding back the wave? You'll only drown in the changes. You've got to learn to let go. Just let go and experience the flight. Try to see from a different side.. If balance is the key Maybe we'll see A future understanding, Then we won't feel so helpless, An turn away and hide from the change. My global mind searches for something new. My global mind zeros in on news. Time and rules are changing. Attention span is quickening. Welcome to the information age. I feel so helpless, So i turn my gaze to another place. My global mind searches for something new. My global mind zeros in on news. My global mind reaches out for the truth. My global mind zeros in on you. It's searching everywhere, Across the mountains, Across the oceans, Across every man made line. No boundary gonna keep it from you. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |
