Would You Rather

Would they rather                    
Go to Mars, live on Mars
Live out there among the stars
Among all of those stars
Where no trees block the view
And no seas to sail on through

We live in Paradise
A virtual Paradise
Here on Earth, a Paradise
Right outside our door
A natural wonderland
There for all to explore
So why should they want for more

But throughout our history
There have always been those, wanting more 
Who covet more          
Subvert the poor, fermenting war
With no respect for what went before
Destroying it all, ‘till eventually they fall

Meanwhile, we are left to pray
Each and all, in their own way
Pray that Nature wins back the day
And in our Eden, we are left to play
In our Eden, we are left to play

So, would they rather live on Mars
Desolate among the stars                  
With no borders to dispute
No oceans to pollute

Leave the rest to live in Peace and harmony

Or would they rather, would they rather
Would they rather, would they rather ……
