Description
The captain and his ship returned
With his report after his scouting.
He told us he found the land,
The land where there is sunshine
And the people live in freedom.
You can be whatever you want to become.
The bounds to happiness
Are only limited by your own imagination.
But no one listened,
Only the seventy of us.
No one else cared.
Everyone was too busy with the darkness
And the gloom of our homeland
Where those rain drops fell.
Living life as if they had none,
Existing bound by slavery to the menial.
They enjoyed their living in despair too much.
They simply did not want to be set free.
There were so bound to their technologies
That they and them had almost now become one.
So, boldly we set sail from the bay,
Just the seventy of us
In the great mystery ship,
With the captain and his crew
To make our new home in our new land.

Epilog:
Sometimes I still think about those left behind,
Those that refused to leave their land
And if they even exist anymore.
But not as often now as I use to.
I do think often about our great journey
With the captain and his ship to our new land.
But I now realize how much like the cockroaches
That lived there with those
We left behind have in common,
When someone turns on a light they run
Scattering back into any darkness they can find.
Their happiness is the blackness and rotting of society.
Hail to you, Atlantis!
