We Can Dream of Mars

We can dream of Mars, with our conscious mindset focused
Even evolve ourselves into a rapacious swarm, the 'cosmic-locust'
Can we go from here to there, the red planet our first stepping stone
And then onto a plethora of distant worlds that we can make our own
Not now, but maybe sometime soon, we can spread our wings
Drawing on the sunlight's power, to sail away on solar winds
Racing on invisible tides, we'll not ebb, for we'll be in destiny's flow
Earth left behind, plundered and pillaged, bereft of the status quo
And we'll be gone, from what's left here, to unspoilt orbs elsewhere
Malnourished droning droves, who need to feed, but cannot share
Our father who art in... Heaven and Hell, for we are the swarm
For ours is the kingdom of power and glory, ours is the norm
Maybe the future is ours alone and we can dream of Mars
And thereafter feed like ravenous locusts on the worlds of stars
Resource conquering, we'll bring chaos to the natural order
Subjugating all that's afore us, to the event horizon's border
