Blazing
huge and white-hot through nocturnal skies
For weeks on end so bright,
The beacon planet Mars traverses
In its closest pass of these millennia,
Precisely while we self-proclaimed proponents
Of a world at peace
Continue waging wars
In several countries at a time.
Who told you, Mars, your time had come?
