We don’t need Mars

 
It’s already happening  
humanity is sleeping  
our planet is weeping  
why can’t we see  
 
we’ve been granted  
the gift of humanity  
and speech our own  
unique ability  
 
It’s    what    sets   us   apart  
 
yet, humans are blind  
selfish and unkind  
trees disappearing  
animals going extinct  
dog days ahead  
apocalyptic visions  
 
billboards everywhere  
the size of dumbo ears  
for all to listen for all to hear  
 
nitrogen oxides carbon monoxide  
overload, I may be under the influence  
but still, I can’t make this stuff up  
 
teleprompters dictating  
our end 24/7 dread on a loop  
we are all doomed.
