Martian Chronicle

yo in the mars hood where red sand be creepin
astronaut amelia had a dope dream leapin
a story bout promise secrets kept in the deep
turnin red wasteland to green in a sweep

amelias skills were lit she mined that martian gold
but life threw shade left her mission cold
her rig went kaput a real buzzkill scene
her heart went dark like a crow so mean

then a  rolled up sly as can be
a martian cat with eyes all flashy and free
"yo ill fix your rig" he grinned with might
"but a price gotta be paid to keep it tight"

"your first plant-born neath mars red beam
thats the deal girl a bond supreme"

cosmic groove the deal was laid down
to get that treasure a price no clown
a mars bargain neon lights did blaze
stars watched on no judgement in their gaze

amelia's like "sure thing let's roll the dice
with rumpelstiltskin's help ain't no need to think twice"
mined up a storm biodome bloom with grace
but later her heart sank like a slow-paced race

rumpelstiltskin returned eyes all on the prize
that plant's lush birth martian paradise
one little plant mars heartbeat right there
a choice like a maze in the martian air

but crew swooped in words like a spell
together they talked made the martian sprite swell
"the plant's the key our future's delight
we roll as one in mars crimson light"

rumpelstiltskin hesitated the bond so strong
future's weight in the balance not wrong
he gave in with a bittersweet grin
a future secured a new life begin

mars embraced plant's roots took hold
mankind's spirit untamed and bold
a saga told in the stars grand design
sacrifice and dreams entwined just fine

so ends the mars tale a cosmic bond
rumpelstiltskin and amelia fond and beyond
in martian winds their legend takes flight
a testament to unity shining so bright
