Mars
Zeus and
Hera gave him life,
The God of war, conflict and strife,
He is murderous and bloodstained,
Beware! - With Ares nothing is gained.
War a horror! - And Ares makes
it fit,
He embodies the brutal aspect of it.
He fires maliciously his war machine,
Aggressively he intends to demean.
Hopelessly man aims in keeping
peace,
Yet anger is part of their personalities.
For some as a meaningful astrological kind
Mars represents the strength of the mind.
As a red planet, rich
in carbon dioxide,
His freezing cold climate is un-denied,
In spring he exhibits a different site
Covering valleys - cloudy, wispy and white.
He displays his contrasting hemispheres
Smooth north and crated south...all years,
Volcanoes and river channels from long ago
With deep, long canyons he poses a show.
