Terraforming

I see trouble arising
Up here in space,
An exchange in the making
For the next generation of the human race.

From this red dust
Thousands of containers are sent to us
Resources from our little blueberry
We really did want this to go fast.

I look back at my home, my city
Hmmf! If you can call it that.
Pimple like structures protruding from the redness
Oxygen tanks for the lacking layer of bliss

I see through this darkness of the shield
A fading blue dot in the distance
Two sisters dancing in the universe's harmony
Spinning around a bigger plan;

Expansion was our need
To revolutionize our seed

We wanted to change the dust
Get life flowing through the cracks
Feel the greenness rising from the rust
It was all part of science, these were the facts

But I see trouble arising
From a planet that was flourishing
Where life originated,
Where humanity was created.

After all, the macrocosm needs balance

There will still be a red and blue
Because there can never be two
