an evolving revolution
on mars children are building
shelters & castles made of legos
within a few short years the structures
will transform into breathable homes
paving the way for the oxygen project
shielding them from the airless & crimson dome
potentially safer than any place
back home on earth
the children will grow & die off
but not before seeding
future generations of lego builders
giving way to skyscrapers
and underground cities
ripe with oxygen & rivers & purpose
creating creatures by way of
gene splicing & dna manipulation
gradually proliferating the planet
with a sense of pride & accomplishment
while back home on earth
the once blue jewel
continues to fade to gray
july two thousand twenty-four
