Atlantis is de titel voor het vertaald gedicht Micronesië
tiny nation
in the middle of the Great Ocean,
so many mini islands up there like Pohnpei
so very very tiny
the people are peaceful
they raise pigs and grow root trees
the sea is calm and so is the breeze
It is peaceful and quiet,
but that was not always sobriety
Under their feet lie the remains of a great citadel
Well, well, well
rooted remains
of a forgotten unknown folk
it was about 1000 B.C.
too far from our history,
as time elapsed
in pre-history perhaps?
indeed the time has elapsed
do you remember Plato
he wrote about this
the mysterious Atlantis
anno 2022 I can tell you, dear poet friends,
these are the greatest moments
Atlantis does exist
and all there is
