Darwin's Cat - Eleven Light Years

I arrived from the stars - it was a very long trip
57 years, lonely me and my loyal ship
My destination is Earth - Cat’s ancient home
Now it’s populated by Apes with upgraded genome

Apes use steam and nuclear bombs
They’ve built pyramids and built Washington
They visited Moon and pioneered pollution
They invented democracy and revolutions

Eleven light years from Earth Cats build space stations
Five light years away Cats build bridges to the moons
On Delta Eridani Cats constructed perfect bodies and flying cities
But here on Earth I feel myself like in Zoo


So Apes have great power of fusion reaction
But they continue use religions and improve corruption
They play with genes and do space exploration
But they can not provide universal education

Apes invented science and complex mechanisms
They developed medicine but still use mysticism
They investigated cosmos and secrets of mind
But ancient superstitions make them limited and blind

Eleven light years from Earth Cats build space stations
Five light years away Cats build bridges to the moons
On Delta Eridani Cats constructed perfect bodies and flying cities
But here on Earth I feel myself like in Zoo


Apes built computers it was a good start
Then came social nets and it was a fatal trap
Now anyone has tools to spread misinformation
Their algorithms can destroy civilization

Nobody knows where is lie, where is true
Even despite the giant IQ
Apes now live in information bubbles
And because of this they have a lot of troubles

Eleven light years from Earth Cats build space stations
Five light years away Cats build bridges to the moons
On Delta Eridani Cats constructed perfect bodies and flying cities
But here on Earth I feel myself like in Zoo


I’m returning to the stars - it will be a very long trip
Several decades, lonely me and my loyal ship
My departure place is Earth - Cat’s ancient home
It’s still populated by Apes with upgraded genome

Earth belongs to Apes, it was inherited from Cats
Apes are curious but they believe in gods
From animals ancestors they’ve got their altruism
But they made step forward and invented humanism

Eleven light years from Earth Cats build space stations
Five light years away Cats build bridges to the moons
On Delta Eridani Cats constructed perfect bodies and flying cities
But here on Earth ..........
