The Last King of Mars [A Poetic Mytho]
[As Told by the Last] King: it was in the year 23,700 BC that one of the two moons of earth was hit by a meteor that of which, a great part of the moon broke off and hit earth's surface with a devastating impact. Thus the solar system absorbed a cataclysm in unimaginable proportions, from Jupiter to Mars; knocking Earth out of its 100,000-year Ice Age. This destroyed three civilizations, two on Earth, and ours on Mars. That is when I left my home, on the giant rim of Olympus Mons, fifteen-miles high, over a thousand miles wide. Atlantis was originally on Mars you know; replanted on earth, from our residue and remnants. It happened like this? [Advance] ?as the Earth absorbed its momentary catastrophe, we absorbed our doom: the echo of the earth shocked the solar system and set the Martian crust in motion, thus rocking Mars off its axis, snuffing out the planet's magnetic field, slowing down its spin-[this is where the poem begins]: 1 The Face of Mars 'Ah! Yes, yes, like a burning lantern 2 'I have learned Yet, I was the last to descend One day on Mars Only in the subsoil Life was almost gone?.' 3 Olympus Mons [volcano] 'I lived on the rim of Olympus Mons Carved in deep,
By ancient water flows; And to the east And our giant volcanoes And our dusty monstrous It was all, all so majestic back then; Poet and Author Dennis L. Siluk see website for more information: http://dennissiluk.tripod.com
