The Planets(Mars)
Mars, red as the blood-
Left in the wake of your namesake.
Home ofOlympus Mons highest of all peaks.
And Valles Marineris, deepest canyon.
Most likely to house water or life.
Maybe one day you will house our dying race.
Accompanied by your two moons
Panic and Dread.
Your surface rusted red.
Will the Martian race one day come to conquer us.
Or will we conquer your hostile surface first.
Only time will tell.
