The Modern Atlantis


The land out in the sea

Mysterious and hidden 

From many who wish to see

 
 

 

 

 

A place of triumph 
 
 

A place of beauty tis it
 
 

One of which many wish to visit
 
 

 

 

But no
 

Foreign feet may not tread this land
 

Breach the banks nor touch the sand
 
 

 

 

 

Fall it not under the sea 
 

But filled with voices
 

"Let our land be free!"
 
 

 

 

 

The land out in the sea
 

Mysterious and hidden 
 

From many who wish to see
 
 
 

 

 

Guarded not by trusted gods and merman
 

But rasicism and fear 
 

Of many thousands
 
 

 

 

No longer Atlantis be its name
 

Its name is America
 

Entrance not free
