Going To Mars

Rating: 5.0


Are you ready
To go from this earth
To the Mars?
Come on, my dear,
It is a one way trip.
Remember, we are
In a mood to colonize
Mars. Be ready
To start by storm.

Let us start on this trip not in storm, but in calm.... The thought about an an alternate planet of habitation is becoming inexorable as our Earth is becoming more and more uninhabitable! Enjoyed reading!

This poem drew me in immediately. I knew it would be about more than a space flight to and back from Mars. It is about space colonization, not just space travel. That means the REAL beginning of THE space age. The speaker has a jaunty, light-hearted tone when he encourages his wife to get ready. And he's honest: he tells her it's one-way; they are going to become Martians. I'm sure a man with his commitment knows the risks and wonders they will encounter. If only, Gajanan Mishra, this journey could occur in OUR LIFETIME!

I saw this title in your list of recent poems in the morning but I had to search for a while to find it. I was drawn to the subject of Mars colonization (I expected the poem to be more than just a space flight there and back - and your poem doesn't disappoint on that issue: the speaker tells his woman, his main squeeze, This is a one-way trip - we are going to be Martians!) There is a jaunty attitude the speaker displays, but I am sure he realizes the risks and the wonders they will encounter. Any person who is committed to the true space age of planetary colonization will know these things but that won't be what he talks about. Like your speaker, he'll talk of adventure, excitement, commitment, and by bringing his dearest one with him he displays that full measure of courage and resourcefulness of the true space pioneer. If only, Gajanan Mishra, we could witness such a Mars journey in OUR LIFETIME!
