The bright sun causes
The eyes to squint while
The shining moon opens
Our eyes take in the
Beauty that nature
Beholds for us
This moon reflects the sun
It does not shine on its own
There are times when the
Sun is beginning to set
While the full moon
Begins to rise
It is amazing, seeing
The full moon on the right
And the setting sun on the
Left at the same time
This doesn’t happen often
It affirms that man has
Little to do with the
Nature of things and could
Not duplicate it if we were
To try. Now we have our
Eyes set on Mars. The idea
Is to fly to and settle on that
Distant planet if possible
As of now, it is estimated that
The trip to Mars would be
About two years. It seems
Farfetched, but we will pour
Billions into trying and will
Celebrate the results if
They are successful. We are
A wandering species and
Find it difficult to stay
Placed in an environment
That is beautiful. We are
Learning how to take care
Of our planet, but have gone
Overboard with theories
On how we are ruining it
Peoples and countries are
Always at odds and at war
When we have everything we need
What would we do on Mars?
