Certain men conjure their schemey dreams…
Dreams of travel among the stars
‘Star Trek’…..’Star Wars’….
…’War of the Worlds’
…..’The Martian Chronicles’
Having a seeming fascination with Mars
For them, life is reimagined…
….a refuge…..a paradise even…..an escape from
The fulsome but sucked-dry tit of Mother Earth
Our erstwhile home…dying and expendable
And fast approaching uselessness
For endless resource extraction
And…oh yes….for actually being able to live upon
That’s because of, you know, the climate change problem
That phenomena of cascading disasters
Intruding on the natural processes of the earth
And, unsurprisingly
Brought on by those very same ones seeking to fly off
Whose disdain and neglect has resulted in Earth
Being poisoned, abused, genetically modified, dammed
up, polluted, chemtrailed, drilled and fracked,
paved over, irradiated, bombed and generally pillaged
of every known resource to be found in earth’s lands,
lakes, rivers, canyons, mountains and oceans
Altogether having caused the very apocalypse they derisively call
“Climate Change”
Therein lies their endearing gaze at Mars
A rustic prospect ripe, untapped and yet….Dead
By turns freezing….scorching
With little or no atmosphere, gravity or water
And so….its Dead
Yet they have a plan…those dreamers
Counting on their inerrant scientific technology
To resuscitate the alluring Mars-orb
As for me, I consider one expert source:
The Bible
Which says it took Almighty God six ‘days’
To create the vibrant planet we now live upon
The Good Book also says, knowingly…
That with God, each ‘day’ means a ‘1000 years’
So as for a reconstructed Mars?
I conservatively reason that it will take at least
Six of those divine ‘days’…many, many more!
To terraform it perfectly…if at all
Therefore….I say to those who wish to go
Those men ill of soul and faulty in logic….
…Illogic men…
You should just go
And possibly….probably…die trying
My humble logic is simple:
I’ll take what’s here now, alive and beautiful:
This earth perfectly prepared for mankind
Over red and dead Mars
A breezy space trip there?
As often said of man’s ventures: what could go wrong?
As for me….it’s also a matter of simple fact
Well known by any competent scientist
That the Mar’s landscape is also
……A Hellscape
As for this blue-green perfect planet
It is enough for me to find assurance
In an inerrant truth about this planet we call Earth:
God created it himself and said it was ‘Good’!
And further, he has promised…..
“It remains Forever”
