MARS: WHERE LOVE IS SUPREME
(Inspired by “Ain’t no Mountain High Enough” – a song by the Supremes)
By Venus Jones
When I die I’ll travel to
Olympos Mons on Mars.
The highest mountain
in our solar system,
just to soar with you in a red sky.
When I die I’ll visit
Valles Marineris on Mars.
The lowest valley
in our solar system,
and eat alien worms with you on rye.
If there ain’t no mountain higher
If there ain’t no valley lower to keep me
from you: my everlasting dream
Then Mars is the place we must go
Mars: where love is supreme
