Cursed? Condemned? To wander the Earth for eternity? Aeneas, or Cain as some call him, Was a person of renown - a leader and scholar. Part of the crew of Odysseus, He was called to the ship But neglected to board it. The name of the isle of flowers? The Garden of Eden. It's caretaker? Cybele. Before the isle Aeneas, like others, Were offered the Trials. This was to visit all the places Currently & properly "gardened." Reward for completion of the Trials Was longevity, strength, et cetera. Gnomen & Seers had procured, Through generations of Trial & error, A potent cataplasm Which they learned to mutate/grow Into a selected fruit. Like an apple. The Garden of Eden Was a place of experimentation, Much in the same vein as the Tower of Babel. Where the Tower of Babel was focused On the development and perfection of communication; In things like language, oration, poetry, literature, et cetera The Garden of Eden was focused On experimentation with different forms of chemicals. Chemicals, of course, coming in many forms; Plants, minerals, other natural phenomena, substances & combinations, et cetera. Part of this was experimentation with psychotropics, Attempting to develop natural immunities To such things like alcohol and cannabis. Aeneas & Cybele, Driven mad by drugs & mental-illness, Left the isle. For Aeneas was a rule-breaker And confided in Cybele all that he understood and knew About the Trials. Aeneas had one trial left, The Maze. The Maze was enormous. Upon its walls All of human history was carved, The entirety of that which was experienced by us. All that had been relayed by various Gnomen & Seers Through generation after generation. Carved in ways that could be universally understood, At least by those living within those ancient societies. The red thread? A guide to weapons, combat, subjugation/domination, et cetera. This area of the Maze Also housed a weapons cache In the event the Maze was threatened or attacked. Who informed Aeneas of the red thread? Cybele. Who informed Cybele? Scylla. You see, as previously mentioned, Part of the Trials was to visit All these areas which had been "gardened." Auxiliary to this Was to visit all those Who had been deemed unworthy or had failed the Trials, Like Scylla had been before meeting Cybele. Living cautionary tales, "Condemned" not to "wander" But to live out their natural existences On isles which were gardened for beings Like predators and plant life which was vicious. It was Scylla who "blew" Odysseus & his crew off course, Knowing of Cybele & Eden. Cybele who later drugged the "Minotaur."

Bacchus was the title Conferred to those responsible for ¹"gardening." Zagreus, lineage of Zeus but son to ²Hades, bore another title. The "Zageuri" lead in the night. There were no feasts of raw flesh, but many dances and celebrations while they tended to "The Great Fire." Of the Zageuri, Zagreus lead. The title, rendered in Latin, is like Noctus Rex. You see, on islands, humans have the capacity for an incomparable amount of exertable control over that of their environment. Those of the lineage Zeus & ³chosen sons of the "God" had, along with the Baccuhi, relocated or slayed the majority of the island's predators. All those who would not be or could not be companions, like Lupus & Lybica. The few remaining were nocturnal. The relocation or slaying of them, any & all nocturnal predators, Fell to those responsible for when Darkness dawned & Night reigned. Those "descendants"  of Hades, lineage of Zeus. And in that, "The Great Hunt," we found among the elusive, As we had found among the obvious, Many other intelligent animals. Many welcomed companions. Wherein was birthed the Zageuri title, Noctus. The Nocti, the owls. Gardeners in their own right, Yet still hunters.

Hades, Delivered By Hermes; On The Child Zagreus
No nettles within the gardens, No ¹needles within the haystacks. Who made for them new navels And showered with salted-wine what would not leave us. Who thrushed through every grain of every chaff, Picking out & crushing that which was rotten. We who made the meadows free! Who liberated they who were encased in ²amber; Rain, Lightning, Thunder. Who slayed the ³Fearsome Hydra. Slew the ⁴Slithering Gorgon. They who silenced the speaking weeds And the whispering flagons. Companions of the ⁵Dragon. Who caused the Titans to bleed. Who stitched the wound, Who cauterized it, Who bandaged it. The first of us to understand, What was the seed.

The scalpel is much like the pen, In the hands of caring & skilled surgeons. Tuna, Sturgeon, Trout. If you loosed a seam Stitch it or cauterize it - heal it, Otherwise it's all down-stream. If you offend, Make right by making amends; You are stricken by lightning. If you misrepresent, Apologize & correct your error by proper interpretation Or to the caves be sent! Judge not the judges, For you are one & this inclination is only a natural one, Lest you receive an unjust verdict.

I feel that the light is shining on all of us, Here today, That are of this generation. Without thought for creed or nation, Dispensation or convictions. I feel in the air A breeze of change From the winds of truth. I hear the chimes Of a pur of gust on chords From a pale vision given color. I see concern in the face of my brothers, I discern a scent staining my sisters. That they are not treated as fathers, That they are not treated as mothers; That they are less person & more chattel. Whatever your chosen identity. And even so, despite conjecture The majority feel as such, That line of a nation Is one without factions. And yet, by the party system, That lie of a nation Is one where we are equals. Because in being separate We are not different, Not in this way. For we are conjoined And yet disjointed; Debating becomes like arguing, Disagreeing becomes like fighting. My friends, what are we doing? Is it not yet evident That without the cooperation, Consent, And participation By the majority of the populace That it is impossible for us to attain real order? Outside of seditious and nefarious plans For power grabs of total control, Which will all reliably fail, There are solutions. Nothing so final As the extremist comics, Often pessimists or nihilists, So salivate and dream over. And nothing so care-free As some sadists or hedonists, Often pessimists or nihilists, So swoon and fall for. Yet nor too meek or rigid As some fanatics or magicians, Often pessimists or nihilists, So worship and practice ritual. No. We will be democratic With a government Who hears of all That plagues & plights; By little & tall, Small & large. We will have a middle, Common ground Where we may all be impartial. That place we shall call, Columbia.

I have no stock in a generation Who does not care whether There is social security enough left To secure my retirement, A system I have paid into tiringly. If you want to end it Be sure I receive my back checks, Or risk being strung by the neck. I have no assurances I will even be allowed to retire, Only assured those in the house Could not care less As to such questions of great importance. They busy themselves with war, While we suffer and only grow more poor And have no interest in developing industry or infrastructure here at home. They know nothing of the branch Only the rich fruit of the olives, Whatever ripe can be harvested. Yet, they know not how to sow.
