Premium Member Colonizing Mars
Your car fishtailed in the slush that was already beginning to freeze, as if you couldn’t wait to get away after dropping me off at the library on Christmas Eve. I had just started reading the books I checked out when the librarian flashed the lights before closing and I found myself back on the street again, at twilight, waiting for you. The snow was falling faster...

Premium Member Bye Bye, I'm Off to Mars
Redlight One to Mission Control! Can you read me, Can you read me? Are you there? Has the comet hit you yet? Did the 'Nuke it Baby' missile work? Can you read me? Can you read me? Perhaps not! Oh well, here we all are, in our tin can spaceship, with our tin can robots driving the show. With all our tin can things...

Send the rich to the mars
Let the best of you hurt your pride stop the contradictions it's too late turn around smell that faith lost in the city of gates hear the bells. Falls of diamond rains cover the city of greed and anguish. Golden tears and painful dreams no one eye sees poverty screams. Take your beliefs your weapons and your meals on wheels. They think you are crazy...

Sworn together by my troth my May bride when joined were glad hearts on eternal date - Rome did not fall nor the planets collide and blessed by the Fates we did celebrate. You wore pearls, rings of emerald and gold, and girl, you and I an earthly child bore - O’ Venus, heed my...

Some may look to distant Mars among radiant stars. Get to the desert, you'll find more much nearer ours. Nearer than any man knows. Ancestral, celestial bones, secret kept in Mojave's botany seldom seen though I've never been. Spread of clustered flowering panicles.. tall giants in sun swept sleep, despite little rain inside darkest soul they creep. As a...

Her smile alone, that ONE that radiates uniqueness bores down plummeting shafts into Earth's deepest Her beam travels light speed to pierce our blackness Cupid simply aims, adds us to his lovestruck Harvest For Men are marooned upon the coldest part of Mars Like Moths we are drawn to the warmth of her Stars We rush headlong driving to unknown reaches...

Dead planet Walk, just walk, deserts, mountains, valleys, ravines, and craters give the view In horrific landscapes, no life exists, oceans, seas, forests, or green flower fields. Silence the ruler of this planet, the invisible frozen past from thousands of years ago Destructed civilization, atomic bombs, this is the truth. The Mars is a dead planet Would you like to...
