Unknown

Space is unknown, but we must explore it, 
Without predicting what aliens we will find, 
No understood language with no semiotics, 
No ticked physicality to suggest a mind. 

Life presents experiences, not systems, 
It lets you accept others with openness, 
No demands said for others’ modems,
Or pretences to aid liking or fondness. 

If you welcome your society and culture, 
Science and the medical profession, 
Then you’ll take on the right posture, 
For no torture, angst or condescension.
