Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars
Ground control to a straying soul
There are many who never return, but the lure from a painful reality perceived, numb, some wish to not feel ever again
The red mist settles as your mood eases
Angry runner dying slowly
A life lived in blue
A mission to Mars to escape the world
There are many who never come back to the hear and the now, the living and learning
Pain to pain, never seen again for now
The lure from reality, numbed, they imagine a door to escape
Runner, runs, run, running....
A shot in the arm or the red mist rising in one on an island
This is your daily news
The glamour dies, craziness is loose
Lives not lived and those taken away do actually have a tale to be told...

Hi, Kant34,
It's tragic when the red mist consumes what could have been a life, not to mention the collateral damage.

I recall a programme when the subject of space travel was focused on the wives, not those....at that time men they went into space...whatever their reason, I doubt many considered the impact on the lives of wives...it opened my eyes....great write Kant, reminded me of that...so many different sides to one story....Niahcool sad flower
