I am Mars.  Red planet.  Warrior strong.  Bathed in the blood of my enemies.

          I am Mars.  I am the male strength.  The decisive--the active--the determined.

          I am Mars.  Sometimes Love must take a stand.  Sometimes peaceful coexistence is not possible.

          I am Mars.  I do not foment war.  I do not encourage hate.  But I protect myself and what I love when hate is raised against me.

          I am Mars.  Know for what you fight.  Defending yourself is not a crime.  Looking to harm or kill is.

          I am Mars.  On my barren surface where life once bloomed, learn to honor love and hate.  Learn to embrace one and reject the other without judgment.
