Atlantis

Far beneath fathom's kept, where the dead men, Dare not speak of forgotten kingdom's hidden deep, Under waves chilling currents, in the aquatic blues, Burial zone. Behind seaweeds thickened greenery, and corals Reefs decorative stealth. An ancient mystery's truth lies undiscovered, Pull back times curtain reveal a world turned up, Side down. Once a utopian society lived, bathed in the Warmth of the sun. Shinning by brilliance light aglow in Architectural marvel. Civilization’s corner stone, etched with Diversity's trade mark. Idealism in perfection orderly form, Pictured framed amongst , Legend's greatest mysteries left unsolved, Yet it intrigues us. A vast landscape spanning the horizon, Wealth's golden city. Built brick by brick on sheer strength, Of will power and intelligence intellect. A crown jewel of the ancient world but, It's existence has tarnished with age, Entering the realm of long ago, Mythological legendary myth. But fortune's favor draws fates attention, Leaving unto follies end result greed's lust, Deception’s cruelty, and slavery’s injustice. The god's have little mercy for humanity’s, Sinister darker side, And cast a titan's krackan to sly the Wickedness there in. Destruction landfall hit Atlantis head on, An eerie twilight’s hour destiny’s four winds, Did scream why have you forsaken, Your children thus so. No wraith's compassion could eliminate, Sorrows heavy burden to bare. A nation, a continent wiped from the face Of the earth, without leaving a trace vaporized, In a instant. Storytellers epically write words, telling of Legacy's lost paradise. It's valuable theology speaks volumes knowledge, Of lessons to be learned so not as to, Be repeated again. In the devil triangle may it rest in peaceful slumbers, Dreaming state. Until history's reawakening calls it name once more. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
