Where are other human beings?

In the universe there should be stars, galaxies

For stars there should be planets

For planets, there need be human or living beings

“Yes we’ve stars, galaxies etc., and beings on our Earth

Where are other human beings?

Among billion and billions of stars, galaxies

There abound billions and billions of planets

Going around their stars pulled by gravity

Whether all planets have living beings is a mystery

This is nature’s , stars, universe’s grim irony!

Millions and millions of lights years lie in between

the stars, with no spacecraft to travel soon

journeys are unthinkable into the stellar void

telescopes like hubble, kepler being the sole guide

to see across by eyes, peer at them close and wide

It will take million, billion, trillion searches

To see in the right regions, right spots,

Spectroscopy and other technical means

To hazard guesses there could be beings

To ascertain, make sure there are living darlings

We are beaming signals into the universe

For some one out there to catch, reply to us

So far one ‘wow’ signal, many false signals,

Nothing yielded concrete proof of living beings

Out there to reach out to us the poor earthlings

A star’s real value and worth is complete

Only if there are living beings to compete

for the space in a planet around it, right!

Is there only one star our sun of that value?

Till we find out we are alone in the universe, true!
