They landed in a fiery crash
But the impact was not suicide
They made landfall in dramatic style
But the arrival was surreal
Machines made for war
Barely touched by human arms
The Martians had goals
To dominate
To destroy
To invade and control
But the simplest thing
Took away from their advantage
Unprepared for human virus
And the vile bacterias
That humans tolerate
Killed the Martians
And proved Earth the victor
