Carlotto's Image

The image you view, you see every day But there will be a day, when I will have my say For the time is now soon to find out from where you came You people from earth, your tomorrows won't be the same This Sphinx like character on my planet called Mars If you look very closely you'll see typical humanoid scars Your archaeologists excavate us, every other day One day they'll strike lucky and your whole world will pay For I am not a Sphinx, I am from where you came from If you look very closely, with you I belong You see me on the dark side, just my mouth and my eye I'm the start of your civilization, but I haven't died
