Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Ball of Curiosity

We Earthlings have evolved enough

To venture into outer space,

With the technological stuff

To announce we're the human race.

We've always wondered what's out there,

And as we got "smarter" in mind

We pinched the universe to share

Its secrets with us humankind.

It's uncertain whether or not

We will get our money's worth.

Our nosiness may have wrought

Who knows what upon planet Earth.

Reaching into the universe,

Be it a blessing or a curse!
