Homo Sapiens in Earth to Homo Martians in Mars

Helios’ children craved

But only Gaia had life in her fate engraved

With waters lashing oceans and tides

And lushy green lands to live by the sides

Her children were the Sapiens

Who ruled the world with radiance

Living in mutualism with animals and aves

Beastly to an extent and digging their graves

Formatting world’s treasures

Polluting her breasts, waists and Aether

Stealing future dreams and childhood

Filling the unhealed lacuna with word brood

Ares, the son had to step up

To invite spaceships and satellites to diagnose his hub

Scientists fiddled to this symphony

Sapiens skipped beats to this cacophony

Homo sapiens in earth become Homo Martians in mars

If living in underground is your choice

If you prefer to forget to rejoice

Like to live in quarantine research stations?

Then mars is your place – CONGRATULATIONS

Gaia had oxygen, mars has carbon dioxide

She had homes; he has catacombs missin’ the hydride

Her body was warm; his made your teeth titter

She preferred vibrant, active dynamicity

He prefers dull, gay less, lazy mutagenity

In earth you could ‘Tinder’ you

In mars you need to camouflage you

With no gravity to bring your ball back

With dismal depressing sights – yuck!

Red red everywhere every place to stink

Forget colours of normal life- think twice to wink

Obliviating smells of pizza and petrichor

Sniffing alcohol, choking smog , protein is all that it has senhorr!

Birdy tweets, rustling leaves, playing children

Become fragments of your history –Amen

With no thunders to rumble and tummies to grumble

“Silencio” of Dumbledore is all that you have to stumble

Every day goes a struggle

Everyone will be an abysmal muggle

Every year marks death’s chuckle

Every night your prayers tumble

 Regretting your ego with Gaia’s Scuffle

Eating fresh will be days of nostalgia

Recycling to eat will be your greatest phobia

She sheltered you from radiations

She gave you everything without donations

If you don’t mind seeing the sunlight

If you prefer carrying oxygen tanks upright

Then mars is your place sit tight

Elon musk dreams and Apollo screams

To stop the welcoming grin of his sibling

Mars is a tough choice with Gaia sizzling

Save her or embrace his clutches

You need to mutate my friend, when mars touches

Mars isn’t cheap and you need a leap

I think you don’t need “An alien hand” or “Surviving mars” to show you how

You hum “Kyunki dil mein mars hai” while Gaia waits for your reply now

Protect her or shatter your dreams and future my love
