sunday evening blues
the massacre on the moon
was plastered all over the news
succinctly too gruesome to be true
how everyone got there
was a matter of simple physics
(having occurred far into the future)
it was an experiment of sorts
and of course a complete failure
while all those living on mars
carried on with their lives
clearly in the dark
september two thousand seventeen
