Mars looks like a giant construction site
or, maybe an ancient destruction site?
Is there a lesson for us?
Is it Peace or bust?
Be kind to Mother
and to each other
or the planet will turn to rust?
Laugh if you will
the red planet is barren, as you can see
and it looks just like the Mojave desert to me.
Where have all the waters gone?
Long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone?

You get the picture.
But what do you see?
Is this our future,
Earth’s ultimate reality?

Just a thought.


Where have all the flowers gone? Lyrics by:
(Pete Seeger/Joe Hickerson) (1956-'60)


title of the post inspired by
Justin Genius, just because
