SETI - Boghos L. Artinian

Rest in peace, Carl Sagan!
Contact was not imminent when you died,
nor are we, having lived beyond your days,
any closer to receiving
'Interstellar Instructions' --
the idols you relentlessly sought.
Yet perhaps we had been receiving them,
all along, in the incoherent thoughts
of schizophrenics, and in edicts,
crystal clear, of prophets and saints.

Boghos L. Artinian (20th century) Lebanon
