Mars,so you name it,
and think that you know it.
The Red Planet.
No air, no life.
But you do not know Mars,
for its true name is Barsoom.
And it is not airless, nor is it dead,
but it is dying.
The city of Zodanga saw to that.
Zodanga, the predator city,
moving, devouring,
draining Barsoom of energy and life.
Only the great city of Helium
dared resist, stood strong,
matched Zodanga airship for airship,
holding fast for a thousand years.
Until one day the ruler of Zodanga
became cornered in a sandstorm.
And everything changed.
and think that you know it.
The Red Planet.
No air, no life.
But you do not know Mars,
for its true name is Barsoom.
And it is not airless, nor is it dead,
but it is dying.
The city of Zodanga saw to that.
Zodanga, the predator city,
moving, devouring,
draining Barsoom of energy and life.
Only the great city of Helium
dared resist, stood strong,
matched Zodanga airship for airship,
holding fast for a thousand years.
Until one day the ruler of Zodanga
became cornered in a sandstorm.
