Alien Appeal

Humans have been searching for extraterrestrial beings for a long time. We have used telescopes and explored Mars, but we still haven't found any signs of intelligent life. We wonder if they are in our galaxy or somewhere else. We question if our actions, like consuming and polluting too much, have made them avoid us. We hope that they will come and teach us how to be better. Ever since we stood upright and walked upon the Earth, we've set our eyes upon the skies and looked for you. Where are you? We've looked for you one billion days. We've looked for you ten million ways by telescope stationed in outer space, set on high mountains above Earth's firmament, yet no sign of being sentient. We dig deep down in Mars' red ground, but still don't know where you abound. Do you even live in the Milky Way? Maybe you're embedded in Sagittarius A. Do we disgust you? Do you turn your eyes from us because we eat too much? We drive too much. We throw away too much. Do you weep at sight of our melting poles, the ice carving off into sea, and retreating on land? Or can't you stand the heat? The heat drying up our streams? Do you shun us because Cain killed Abel with his hunter's club? Or did you see that trail of tears in America, those stacks of skulls in Rwanda, the million corpses in Cambodia? Our crimes can fill the whole cosmos, but please don't avoid us, burst through the skies like a meteorite, streak like a comet homing for blue planet. Come teach us, transform us. Come show homo sapiens how to be the overmen. We'll watch for you.
