The Quest

Legacy beyond compare,
 A generous gift to those who dare.
 Cognition... Ignition
 In search for intelligent life!
 Not the escape from a dying planet
 But a conscious effort of the human kind to cognize...
 No distance is ever too far...
 No time is too long...
 The quest for ourselves in this void
 Ten light years from home!
 How could we forget who we are?
 How did we become so deaf
 To this irresistible call
 That had taken us once from our caves?
 Is it where we stand now?
 Abandoned in space...
 Forever lonely planet of
 A forever lonely race!
 No distance is ever too far...
 No time is too long...
 The quest for ourselves in this void
 Ten light years from home.
 But distance seems always so far...
 And time seems too long...
 The quest is over
 Ten light years from ourselves!
