Face In Space
We started that colony when we first came
Never realizing that on earth we would do the same.
We put our face on the planet as a mark in time
Only to find that we would have to repeat it in kind.
We found that the angry red planet could not make a suitable place
To deposit our seed and continue our race.
We had to move to a home with a more temperate life
Wanting to not continue contending with the heated strife.
We saw the blue sphere was inhabited there next in space
Your people were more than hospitable than others in any kind of place.
We put our face on your blue planet, too
Knowing some day, it would be discovered by you.
