written in year 2019,


In a cosmos vast, where stars do gleam,
Two planets caught in a cosmic dream.
Mars, the red, where men might roam,
And Venus, cloaked in clouds, like a woman's dome.


To Mars I yearn, with ships to soar,
A million humans, and much more.
For Earth's too small, our cradle tight,
To Mars we'll go, in the mystery of the night.


But wait, dear Elon, what of Venus?
A sister planet, so close, yet heinous.


Venus, you say? A silent place,
With acid rain, and heat apace.
But Mars, oh Mars, with ice and sand,
A new home for man, in a barren land.

From Earth, they say, it's man's domain,
But let's explore, from whence they came.
Mars, they whisper, in ancient lore,
Might be where man's essence bore.


But what of me, with my thick veil,
A planet of mystery, where secrets prevail?


Venus, dear Venus, you're quite the sight,
But for settlement, you're not quite right.
Your skies might sing, with sulfuric flair,
But for a home, Mars has the air.

So here's the tale, from Earth to Mars,
A journey bold, beyond the stars.
But let's not forget, in this cosmic dance,
Venus, the beauty, in a fiery trance.

Hold on, hold on, let's not get too far,
This isn't just about where men are.
Mars, indeed, might be where we're from,
But exploring it, that's where the fun's begun!

Exactly! To Mars, we'll send our might,
Not just for men, but for human delight.
A new frontier, where all can strive,
From Earth to Mars, let's all derive.

So here's to Mars, and Venus too,
In this cosmic tale, there's much to do.
But remember, folks, in this grand quest,
It's not just about the destination, but the journey's zest.

And if you're wondering, where did we start,
Maybe from Mars, with a curious heart.
But now we explore, with ships and cheer,
For in the cosmos, there's nothing to fear!
