Sired of otherworldly beings

I look to the sky longing for home

Long-thread genetic code

Embedded in my DNA

Needs no ears; internal radar hears all

Chin up, buttercup, they telecommunicate

Earthbound plane is a temporary physical existence

    I like it a lot. First, I must comment that you got the acrostic form down perfectly. I like this because it's different from many of the others. I like the futuristic theme. Excellent work!
