We Felt Beloved and Brilliant

Ancient Atlantis was Utopia. I know for I was a prominent citizen. We felt loved, revered, respected. We became complacent, haughty, arrogant. Our technology was incredibly advanced Brought to us through our dream states Thanks to space travelers who deemed us worthy. Our heads were puffed up. We were Atlantis and we were fine! Our Utopian city was placed on an island by Poseidon in honor of Cleito, his true love. We were overseen by Chaos and Ydor, brother gods. We felt beloved, brilliant, and beyond reproach. We threw away whatever rules and ideals that stopped serving us A weird cataclysmic evening arrived unexpectedly A battle of fire, brimstone, earthquakes and destruction. In vain we attempted to retain our spirituality But we had become immoral, petty and greedy Our island imploded, never to be found again You can search for us Some are still singing the song In the Bermuda triangle Pulling down unsuspecting planes Loving the destruction we can impose on others Our spiritual lessons not completely learned apparently.
