A Tour With a Martian

Down To Earth

Welcome to earth

It’s pretty ghetto here but,

we still show love

The two-legged, flesh covered souls you see are called humans

They are responsible for this thick, cloudy,

polluted element called air in which you are breathing

There are feathered ones called birds

They are the symbol of freedom

Some are four legged

They can either be companions, or food, or both depending on who you’re asking

The greens, yellows and other canvas worthy colors sprouting from the ground are flowers

The big ones are trees

We can’t live without them

Like the yellow, burning, power source in the sky called sun

And it’s fraternal twin, a bright, white night light called moon

Maybe one day you’ll get that powerful,

tingly sensation in your chest that you can’t make sense of

That’s called love

We can’t live without that either
