Forgotten city

Once remembered, now forgotten

Lies buried an ancient civilization.

Surrounded by the water so aquamarine blue

Unseen by most, glanced by a few

A golden yellow fish darts in and out

of a mammoth building once sitting proud

atop the streets of a bustling city

Drowned by water and then by history..

Cruel are the hands of fate,

though the angry floods did abate.

Death pervaded in its awakening,

No hope left for any living being.

And so she lies this ancient civilization,

Craving to be found, this proud nation!

She yearns to tell all her story

of people from her land and all their glory.

Her wish is again in the dreaded grasp of fate

Sighing, her moment she anticipates....
