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.
