A heated rock and the sun embrace

This humanoid, now lost in space

A species unlike any we’ve seen

Alien, to our lush, verdant green

He walks about, watching fires blaze

Comets flying, in clouds, filled with haze

The ground explodes, with violent screams

As lava flows, in mysterious streams

Restless, as quakes erupt, shoot stars

He’s a stowaway, from Earth’s mission, to Mars
