A Unique Planet In Space

There's a unique planet in space!
It's a veritable paradise!
Yet its residents degrade their base,
Carving out their own demise!

We have probed the visible skies
And seen stars and beautiful displays.
This has brought us to realise
That there's a unique planet in space!

In the solar system is where it lays.
Its distance from its sun is precise
For aiding life in multitudinous ways!
It's a veritable paradise!

You can make every kind of devise
From elements found in this place.
A better life man could realise
Yet they're degrading their base!

There's no seeking a water trace,
Which to space missions would be a prize.
Men beset the place with a malaise,
Carving out their own demise!

This home of vapor, water and ice,
That creates food from the sun's rays
Has residents who are fond of vice!
Peering deep into space portrays
That there's a unique planet!

Thanks Howard. I suppose brewing a poem over a few days does help: a touch here, an alteration there,... as you know.
