--Oh Atlas--

This is a poem based on the Greek Titan Atlas, the Titan of Astronomy, who, after the Titanomachy, i.e., the Great Battle between the Titans and Gods of Greek Mythology, was imprisoned to carry the load of the entire sky of the Earth on his shoulders. This poem is a conversation between Atlas and his last surviving disciple, thousands of years after the Titan's imprisonment. This conversation highlights the harsh truth that the disciple talks about to his master, who ceased to exist even though he did.

(P.S. Its a very short poem and contains a bit of basic old English)

Oh Atlas, thoust tell me
Whost the heavier,
The heavens above or the people's heart?
Hasn't thou felt the before
As thee hold the heavens upon thine head,
When your daughters see you did tears they not shed?
What hast thou got?
An eternal prison where you were simply left to rot?
Forget and forgive thine disciple;
For did you not receive liberation
By keeping your soul confided in thou own nation?
