@OstrogothRome That was a lovely scripture. Thanks so much for sharing this... :)

[Oszych2]

That was amazing. Thank you so much for posting it.

[OstrogothRome]

An empty town, deep in the Arabian Desert dust,

Its sand filled streets once full of love and hate, of deep romance and shallow greed,

Streets once full of sound, now mute witness to what might have been,

The money changers now all are gone, but time’s changes carry on regardless,

Love’s serenades no longer fill its lanes, but the desert sands whistle on forever

[OstrogothRome]

Years pass, and people come once more, but not to sell and not to buy,

Not to give but only take, to take from empty streets and fallen houses,

Travellers come to stare at empty places, their uses long forgotten,

But as you pass and stare as well, so ponder this,

Will those travellers come again one day,

And gaze this way upon your city too?

[OstrogothRome]

@caroleabumoussa Perhaps the same legends that tell of a lost land west of Wales, or the race of giants that put in place the huge stones of the Temple of Ballbek; the same garbled legends that gave us the scrying glass where once was an earlier Internet, or that which gave us the flying broomstick, simple folk-copy of a rocket exhaiust. In 1,000 years our technology will have left such similar fantastic tales to our agrarian descendants.

@OstrogothRome Where is this legend from? What region & what beliefs?

[Davccelion]

@OstrogothRome, interesting idea though! A superior civilization, of course...
