Chapter Forty One: Glorious

Now in this island of Atlantis there was
a great and wonderful empire which had rule
over the whole island and several others,
and over parts of the continent and,
furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected
the parts of Libya within the columns of
Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far
as Tyrrhenia. This vast power, gathered into one,
endeavored to subdue at a blow our country
and yours and the whole of the region
within the straits, and then Solon, your
country shone forth, in the excellence of her
virtue and strength, among all mankind.

Plato

Atlantis was destroyed by the greed
of its inhabitants.

Frederick Lenz

Glorious
A Poem


An ode, a lost city
A disappearing act of obedience
Kept in the chest of treasures
That can be found in the thousand seas
A stone, the pearl of silence
The insufficient case of glory
Stunned by the golden case
Of coins thrown into the depths
The trenches of the ocean floor
Not long, but lost still
Nowhere is the place received

Yet, the remnants are felt
From the waves carried to the shores
The song sings triumphantly
Outrageously still, but upbeat
The tempo was exhilaratingly good
Profound in its message and muse
To see the lost from the greenish eyes
Undoubtedly gladness in a sense of sight

Atlantis, where are you now?
To which ground do you wish to conceal
The grand beauty of your edifice?
Did you bury yourself to escape?
The murder of a thousand centuries?
To wish for your destruction
Is it not a chance of prejudice?
To flee, and never fight
A cowardice in a scary night?

Onwards, the search ahead
To prove the courageous strength
Viva Atlantis, it beckons
To stop the killings, determined
Of glorious dreams of men

To be free is not to back down
From the declared principles it rises
The bully and the presence of doubt
To kill the white pelican
But still the bald eagle develops
A city is lost, but dreams there must be
It shall move forward
Pretty, it is still

Decide not to conceal the truth
Desire not the future holds
A harrowing of the murky middle
Like hell, the Spirit rages
Like an orb of fire
The storm testifies to the might
Of the Kings and the many Angels
The hosts of the fruit
The Scrolls that holds
An ultimate test or the bare truth

May the Holy War not forget
Atlantis in its glorious state
May the celestial beings succeed
In defending the presence of us, begin
Having faith in the power of love
The deterrence of hope not
And Satan's version of a globe

Let no one perish
Let this world survive

May the lost City of Alantis
Remind us of fire
That destroys an entire city
That will never be not found.

Chapter Sixty Two: The Fable Beneath the Enclosure of Minneapolis

 Just as the enclosure called Planet Earth has a wealth of story and narrative to tell, waiting to be discovered by an "anointed one," like a true seer as some might allege at this point of comparative instance; just as a person's mind is littered with all kinds of thoughts and a wide array of options for the rational soul to decide, the newly created enclosures of the so-called New World of America are also full of fables and tales that merit intellectual attention and the discerning eye for a much open sense of literary appreciation. This comes as history is desperately trying to keep the balance of the continuous unveiling of universal timeline, as well as the many periods in the past, and that which holds the valuable lessons that came, primarily, from the victorious strategic demeanor that led to triumph, as well as the several notable failures of the wars that led to the development of military tactics, and the peripheral analysis of political and mercantile powers,...

Chapter Fifty Two: Enclosed

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it amyway except a slow way, (instead) leave it the fastest  way you can.  Never turn back and never believe  that an hour you remember is a better hour  because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones,  vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance. Beryl Markham, West with the Night Renew, release, let it go. Yesterday's gone. There's nothing you can do to bring it back. You can't "should've" done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is the new day! Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it. A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh I've been doing this a long time --manipulating people to get my way. That's why you think you love me. Because I've...

Chapter Eight: Arrival at the Peaceful Enclosures

Back in the present day, the initial implementation of Genesis Technology was in full swing. There are many more protests and speeches and court cases initiated by organized women and politicians that has become very repetitive. Day two after the crucial Executive Order takes effect and enter into force, thousands of women arrive at the Peaceful Enclosures in Arizona and Wisconsin, and more States are expected to follow. Although mainly a federal operation, State governments were also enjoined to ensure the success of the application of the discovered benefits of the breakthrough Genesis Technology operation. Women politicians have all sought the floor of their respective legislatures to deliver a speech about the importance of keeping their seats and continue their political participation, as the government is trying to resolve the issue about the technology's universal application and its efficacious use on the health of others, especially the women. Many of them have also held t...
