Life On Mars

A small group of survivors, Heading towards the hostile planet mars, One spaceship, one ride, no return, Looking back to what was left of earth, As it faded into the far distance, Was there any hope? For human kind, Or did man become too intelligent, That it destroyed itself, Were we the lucky few or not? What will we face? On the red volcanic toxic planet, Doomed before arriving? Would we build then destroy? Could we survive? Freezing adverse weather, Build airtight buildings, Or live in caves, Create oxygen, Grow food! Keep warm, Do we have enough food? How long would we last? Nobody new, Quietness and speechlessness, Darkness abounded, Fear and dread, As we moved through the sky, Would mars be kind to us? Or live up to its reputation, Man of war! Heading into the unknown, Families left behind, Loved ones were gone, Venturing into new future, Mars would be our new earth, Was our only chance, Will mars destroy us? Or we mars. Is there alien life forms? Another unknown enemy, Besides ourselves. Wars again, Or this time, learn peace? Who would rule us? Or would we be free, Life on mars. 06/05/2016 For competition Sponsor Brian Davey
