Poem: Life on Mars

In the vast expanse of space, Lies a planet with a red face, Its name is Mars, a world unknown, A place where life has never grown.

But in the depths of this barren land, There lies a secret, a hidden strand, A race of beings, so strange and rare, Living in a world without any air.

Their skin is tough, their eyes so bright, They roam the land both day and night, Their homes are caves, deep in the ground, Where they sleep and rest, safe and sound.

Their food is scarce, but they survive, On rocks and dust, they stay alive, Their world is harsh, but they are strong, And they have lived here for so long.

They watch the stars, and dream of flight, To leave this world, and reach the light, But for now, they stay and thrive, In a world where few can survive.

Life on Mars is not for all, But for those who live, it's quite a ball, A world of wonder, a world of strife, A world where they have made a life.
