Martians

What would our lives

Involve on a planet

We evolved to survive?

Are our current threats

Legitimate concerns, or

Have we grown numb

To the harsh realities

Of survival?

Has luxurious living

Weakened our instincts?

Would we be able to

Adapt and thrive

Or would we be

A cautionary tale

Of the dangers of comfort?

Ruby

I’ll write you as I please,

A character in my story

Is all you’ll ever be

I’ll make you dance

I’ll make you sing

I’ll make you fall in love with me

When I feel I’m in over my head

I’ll cut your strings, puppet,

And set you free.
