I might volunteer for destination Mars

A one way trip no journey home

A beginning or an end no answer known

Just traveling expectantly destination almost unknown

I’m probably too old with nothing left to offer

Most won’t be around to see the launch

But what a gift to be part of the brave new world

Rewrite the rules and start afresh

An end to the class system and the power of money

No more unfair educational advantage

But I expect that the one man with a gun will become the king

Survival of the ruthless is how this mess begun
