Message from Mars



Have you heard enough times
the recent question,
Where were you when Apollo
landed on the moon?

Talk about corporate hype
Intended for what purpose?
Right, to sell the next phase,
the profit$ rolling in
for another Moon shot
and Mars missions
after that

The Mars Society,
run by a Lockheed Martin
executive,
says,
"The Earth is a rotting,
stinking, dying planet.
We've got to move civilization
to Mars and terraform
the Red planet."

Imagine the cost of turning
Mars
into a beautiful green planet
like Earth.

I hear you,
why not just take care of this
green wonder we live on now?
Right!

But just one problem with that
the 'aerospace industry'
can't get rich beyond
imagination
by cleaning up
boring old Mother Earth


Anyway you cut it
we're in big trouble,
especially the kids,
they see little future
here on this tiny,
spinning orb,
and Mars don't look
so inviting either

What's a human
to do?
