Looking to Mars
Beyond my wildest imagination into the outer reaches of space
Observations on earth spin reality into a maniacal surreal place
The sun and moon light to seek nurture's nook in the human race
Looking to Mars, while the earth manages to escape our embrace
============================
Scrappy little sparrow wills survival in a flurry feathered chase
Despite all odds tiny tough tenacity tenders her nest of laid lace
No book of rules to slow her wings she skirts the earthbound pace
Looking to Mars, while the earth manages to escape our embrace
==================================================
Chaos swirls amidst dark quiet desperation on mothers silent face
Three angels enter heaven by trusted hands gripping hope's erase
Stripped of all that matters four leave the planet in a scarlet trace
Looking to Mars, while our own manage to escape our embrace
=================================================
Our brother's keeper yet look away to surrender in apathy's disgrace
When a tiny crumb of kindness might a morsel of misery efface
To light hope in the corner of one lost soul casting love to its debase
Instead, looking to Mars, while our own manage to escape our embrace
======================================================
