I am but a scribe of the ancients of Earth
But let me impart to you the History
This is the tale of the Atlanteans curse
_________
Atlantis was the global society
Ruled by the kings of each natural species
A coalition of Earth’s societies
_________
Possessing superior intelligence
They maintained their connection to the planet
As well as to the natural universe
_________
They created without contaminating
They did not destroy or pollute the planet
They built without harming life in any way
_________
Massive structures and delicate gold items
Created with remarkable precision
With care and respect to the natural world
_________
Surrounded by riches but without greed
The kings did not covet what others possessed
Each ruled his own territory with wisdom
_________
But they grew lazy and arrogant with time
So, the great builders fashioned a new species
Intended to build and tend gardens for them
_________
These new laborers would be lesser beings
Cognitively inferior to the kings
Mere tools for them to use to serve their own needs
_________
Designed with traits contributed by each king
Capable of servicing deeper desires
Able to procreate to make more work force
_________
The kings interbred with these lesser beings
From their unions offspring were born with new traits
Such as a greater degree of awareness
_________
However, these children lacked the kings’ wisdom
Angered by their own inferiority
They began to covet what others possessed
_________
They desired land, gold, knowledge, and power
Some of these descendants of kings took the thrones
Corruption festered within the hybrid species
_________
Unsatisfied with thrones and territories
The corrupted kings broke the most sacred law
The kings made war with, and killed their own brothers
_________
The old ancestral kings were disgusted
And enraged by what their children had become
So the kings doused the planet in flood waters
_________
All the buildings and possessions were destroyed
But most importantly, so too old knowledge
Leaving only their descendants behind
_________
Then the old kings abandoned their home of Earth
The artificial species was left alone
With only legends of their past to guide them
_________
The old kings hoped the new species would acclimate
Left to natural surroundings they might change
Become more natural themselves and evolve
_________
However, they failed to connect to the Earth
Unable to understand the universe
The new species repeated mistakes of old
_________
Fascination with gold and objects remained
Residual corruption lingered within
The past was forgotten by the new species
_________
The new species was the only one on Earth
Yet they continued to find reasons to war
All while drifting further away from nature
_________
Humans learned to make their own technologies
But inferior to their predecessors
Toxic and harmful, even to its makers
_________
Creation now pollutes and destroys the Earth
Now humans seek to follow their ancestors
Attempting to escape Earth and reach the stars
_________
This plague cannot be allowed to spread beyond
It must be contained to Earth at any cost
Even if it means sacrificing this planet
_________
Humanity cannot infect the cosmos
Let them suffer on the planet they squandered
Ever hungering and never satisfied
