About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt: Outer Space
True or false, a whole lot of information is on the web about the outer space these days, by means of Nasa, James Webb telescope, and the Voyager probes. Do you believe in what they tell us or the UFOs and/or life on other planets and space?

--------

I would tend to say true if for nothing but for the ridiculousness and the impossibility of believing we're the only living beings in the universe. Still, my answer as "true" has its iffy points for questions such as:

*Is all life, as we know it, the same in the universe? I ask this for the reason that even on our tiny dot of a planet, the variety of life animals, plants, microbes, etc., abound. Imagine the variety in such a large environment, if applicable...

*Are we getting the right information? This always offers some food for thought, because we are looking at what life is in our own terms and as we know life. I am sure our scientists and explorers or their explorations are sincere, but maybe there are other factors to life other than being carbon-based.

*Then, which information are we going to believe? I mean especially those fly-by-night, click-baiting U-Tubers who take the information from a serious source like a Voyager probe or a Nasa telescope and impress on it some fantasy photo or picture and tell people that "We are in Danger!" Surely, I can only call them sensationalists since any better word would sound as if I am cursing at them.

As such, when all is said and done, we won't be done in a very short time, unless the earth is no more. In the meanwhile, it is a good idea to stick to the serious stuff and applaud any advancements on the subject. After all, who knows, the future of human beings may depend on it.
