Curiosity Killed the Cosmos

Then came first light, the heavens begun Inter stellar policemen patrolled the sun Beseeching universal conformity Harmonious peace treaties, uniformity Paranormal delegates of astrology Astronomical fusion, mythology Breaching distant galactic borders To restore misconceptions of order Cosmopolitan senates hold candles Of cosmic folklores and vandals Here confined we are assigned duties Designed to marvel at Venus’ beauty Is the star called earth just as bright? As the goddess’ reflection each starry night Do we simply pale in comparison Do we sour the face of oblivion? Do they mourn for stars falling from skies? Or wish for contentment at others demise Do they value each yearning sensation? Do they too dream of space exploration? Do all beings look across galaxies? Is over stepping boundaries a felony Does everyone wish to learn more? Is invasion considered an act of war? Are they prepared to meet, do they have a speech Like: “We mean you no harm. We come in peace” Will I know their handshake before my doom? Does Armageddon for everyone loom? Will we be erased like solar eclipse? Will our light be turned off from alien abyss? Will knowing too little forever haunt Till apocalypse comes and meteors daunt
