Man From Mars
by Kenneth Vincent Walker
It's no coincidence
That Mars is a mere
Hop, skip and jump
Away from planet
Earth; and possibly
The birthplace and
Original homestead
Of the human race.
Hypothetically, we
May have come or
Even been brought
Here rescued from a
Cataclysmic fate by
Benevolent beings
Outside imagination
Beyond the Milky Way.
For Man has always
Looked toward the
Stars with a longing
To someday return.
There is something
Inherently within us
That burns for the
Universe which keeps
Whispering our name.
