Even Mars sounds better
9/24/05

I’m moving to Mars
I’m flying into the stars
What is there left here for me?
What can there truly be?

I see around and there is hatred
I look around and there’s nothing sacred
Why would I stay?
Why should I care anyway?

Death and destruction in every wake
A dark and bitter cold ache
I can’t stay here and fake happiness
I can no longer hide my sadness

Alcohol and drugs on every street
Drug lords becoming our elite
Hell has yet unfurled
I can’t save our world

People complaining just to complain
What of our acid rain?
Uninhabitable Mars sounds great
There alone is my fate

~*~*~*
Hey guys, you probably don't remember me, but I'm back!

~*~I'm a dreamer, with broken dreams, and only words to fall back on~*~

We can't save the world or others from what's out there but - hey, we don't have to go to Mars to save ourselves although maybe because the way is different for each of us.  Welcome back in any event!

Don't leave untill you clean your room! Not trying to be funny DM. It's so easy to feel helpless when your taking on the whole world. The world is just too big and too mean. But there is a world within the world that belongs you. It's called My World and that world you can change. Who knows what effect the ripple you make will have on the universe. :-)

You know I get really fed up with earth myself lately, are you taking reservations for flights?   Nice write, and welcome back.

Yes, every now and then, we all would like to close our eyes and take off to wonderland.
I understand your outcry. But now that you have shared this opinion, please don't give in. You and every single soul on this world can make a difference!
We must move towards the awareness of being One and love each other.
This Earth does not only bleed, it also blooms ...
Welcome back!
Love,
Margherita

I lost my seventeen year old son Dragon Mistress. The world lost a caring and artistic individual. And I garantee you it's a loss me nor the world could afford.

I know the planet is in bad shape right now but things can change so quickly. She needs those who love her who mourn for her. We can't leave her to those who abuse.

Although the world is full of suffering , it is also full of the over coming of it. Helen Keller

Sheeee's baaaaack! Hi, DM! I just noticed that you joined pip the day before I did!

At times I feel the same way as you do. Mars does sound like the ideal place to go! I hear that there are all-you-can-eat Mars bars ~ and they're free!

Keep the faith!

Love & Light,
EA
