Aliens

We are indeed Life’s longing for itself, and Voyager spacecraft is quite a bait.

What have we sent towards the stars?
Was it just harmonious beauty, or random sorrows too?
Did we send birds’ songs and left out bellows of Brazen bulls?
Have we sent our location as Disneyland, or as Auschwitz?
Did the ones that sealed the fate of Hiroshima seal that message too?
Are we signaling to aliens from a lighthouse, or luring them with sweet chants?

Have they been landing, have they left a trace?
Have they opened their eyes to colorful simple shapes
Have they crawled on fake floors and teddy bears?
Have they experienced ecstasy in sweet bites of joy?
Have they maintained our abstract temple, and added a couple of floors?
