Certainly! Here are a few verses inspired by the concept of a cargo cult on Mars:

Verse 1:

"In the barren lands of Mars, our eyes behold,

A fervent faith in cargo's worth, a story yet untold.

We gather 'round the Martian soil, our hearts ablaze,

Awaiting ships from distant skies, with wonders to amaze."

Verse 2:

"Our Martian prophets speak of days to come,

When ships descend from heavens high, and silence turns to hum.

With fervent hope, we offer praise, our voices raised on high,

To deities of metal birds, that soar across the sky."

Verse 3:

"Through red dust storms and ancient rocks, we stand as one,

Believers in the promised land, where cargo ships will come.

We toil and sweat, our hands at work, constructing sacred signs,

Guiding spaceships to our realm, as destiny aligns."

Verse 4:

"From rusted capsules, remnants left, we glean our lore,

Technology of ages past, the cargo we adore.

Yet deeper lies our quest for truth, in every metal shard,

A yearning for connection true, with beings from afar."

Verse 5:

"As Mars unfolds its mysteries, we seek to understand,

The cosmic dance of life and hope, guided by a grand plan.

In cargo's gleam, we glimpse a dream, a future yet unseen,

A unity of worlds entwined, where miracles convene."
