Oh! How I remember Mars!: A poem 

If I could remember a land that was 

as warm as a cherry-tree, but not red 

alone, and never dead! But rainbows 

of every hue, cascading over mountains  

and streams, and valleys meant to be the 

receptacles of fecund civilisations. Civilisations 

that basked in advancement while also  

honouring their rusticity! The childhood laughter 

rang in its alleys, like those starships flying in its skies; 

Like photo albums that carried dignity, integrity 

and valour in the glory of a Sun who was foster, and  

played its laughter and music in Virgo and Aries, so sublime;  

and cradled in the protection of Jupiter! 

You know, as always was the case! The Sethians  

proceed to pursue everything that belongs to 

Osiris and Horus! So, what is magnifiedly seen  

by envious eyes that hasten to fall upon a glory  

like the wickedest acid rain, and render, in its  

infiltration and castration, childlike beauty to a puerile cruelty! 

Must destiny see such corruption, poison again  

and again; where the vestiges of dignity are so  

impaled by stakes of evil! So that innocence is deceived and laid to waste!  

And this land is marauded by the unwelcome sea. 

And there is war, and there is catastrophe! 

Mother taken from son, and son taken from father! 

And daughters no longer Amazonite Viragos, but Eves 

trapped in the temptation of sin! So, should I, after all 

these long aeons; eras distanced from memory by time, 

persevere to pursue Mars again or further look ahead to Venus!
