Overwhelmed by waves of indifferent Nature, 
Atlantis, the greatest city in history 
of Earth, that once shone with rational minds 
somewhere in verdant lands of fertile hope 
where wordless winds now blow across sand dunes, 
was erased by relentless change of time. 

Sailing boat of his mind on waves of thought, 
Prometheus searches Sea of Information 
for cosmic concept of Unified Theory 
that organizes states of particles 
in strict coherent patterns which control 
chaotic swerving of atomic sparks. 

Now from vast surging Sea of Information 
New Atlantis rises on firm foundation 
of grand world view we build from formulas 
describing physical cause and effect 
light particles employ to form our minds 
from radiant pulse of psychic energy. 

With diamond of atomic energy 
glowing in generous gesture of his hand, 
which he stole from shape-changing Proteus, 
Prometheus offers gift of cosmic flame 
to gray-eyed Minerva who wields star hammer 
to forge machines from metals of the Earth. 

Jealous that Minerva accepts rare gift 
Prometheus offers as token of his love, 
Jupiter leads angel gang with oak wands 
to attack him in Cavern of Illusions, 
then chains him to harsh icy mountain peak 
as punishment for wooing his sweet daughter. 

Pushing open huge dictionary door, 
Prometheus climbs broad ever-winding stair 
in endlessly upward-mounting labyrinth 
while he rebuilds global Tower of Babel 
with ideograms of ancient languages 
that compose world-sprawling Temple of Truth. 

Hunched over writing desk, heaped with old scrolls, 
in huge hushed Museum of Alexandria, 
Prometheus erects grand monument 
that rises out of global compost heap 
of universal electronic culture 
where three-horned demons roam in cyberspace. 

Presiding over new global Atlantis 
that glows in network of electric cables 
forming internet of the world wide web, 
Prometheus organizes cyberspace 
with Magic Ring of Universal Truth, 
uniting billions of minds in God Mind.
