Arecibo

 

We sent out signals,

signpost sounds.

Messages to the stars.

Telling them

where we are.

We gave them

our vital stats,

lots of facts,

at the speed of light,

into the wilderness of space.

 

We gave details of our DNA,

The building blocks of life,

we told them how we survive,

in multiple frequencies,

every radio wave,

every TV broadcast,

every single transmission.

We poured our messages

to the stars.

 

And they heard. Every word.

They listened to the dictators.

Our political leaders.

They listened to our warlike cries,

saw the bloodlust in human eyes.

They saw as innocents died,

to provide profit to our darker sides.

They watched as people lied

and war-torn countries

smouldered under missile fire.

 

And they watched.

They cried.

Then they turned back.

No stopping

this human genocide.
