What if humanity carried its same ignorance and greed to another planet? In this powerful spoken word performance, Kirk Nugent, known as The People’s Poet, delivers Mars 2039, a poetic warning about history repeating itself beyond Earth’s borders. This is a searing reflection on colonization, racism, greed, and the illusion of progress, told through the lens of a hypothetical trip to Mars.

🔥 Listen as Kirk flips the narrative:
Would we free the Martians or enslave them?
Would we teach peace or repeat oppression?
Would we explore space or export our sins?

Through vivid imagery and truth-telling rhythm, this poem exposes the hypocrisy of human progress and reminds us that without inner evolution, technological advancement means nothing.
