"Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud" - Maya Angelou


If you think

About the stars

You’ll then realize

We are on Mars


We are on Mars

The big blue ball

Its center nose

Is the color of fall


If you think

About that rock

You’ll soon realize

The Earth is a block


The Earth is a block

This much is untrue

You can walk the edge

And go in circles too


If you think

About that sphere

You might see how

We ended up here


We ended up here

By the sneeze of a hand

It spread its tendrils

All under our land


Now if you think

About the trees

Then you will know

The reason for knees


The reason for knees

Is simply just this:

To stand up short

See through an abyss


Then if you think

About all the cars

You’ll understand

How we see the stars 


How we see the stars

Is really quite strange

Look up down the water

And don’t see the change


If you think 

Once more of stars

You’ll again realize

We were never on Mars
