Continue to Dream

In the quiet moments, when the world’s asleep,
When the stars above their watchful silence keep,
There blooms a dream, like a soft moonbeam,
Whispering gently, “Continue to dream.”

In the heart of struggle, when hope seems thin,
When the shadows whisper that you can’t win,
Rise from the depths where doubt has flown,
For dreams are seeds that courage has sown.

Though storms may gather and the skies may cry,
Your dreams will soar on wings that fly.
Through winds of change and tides unknown,
Dreams are the compass to guide you home.

The Mythical Lost City of Atlantis and its Possible Link to The Bahamas

The myth of Atlantis has fascinated scholars, explorers, and dreamers for centuries. This legendary lost city, first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias around 360 B.C., is described as an advanced civilization that vanished beneath the ocean waves in a cataclysmic event. While the location of Atlantis has been widely debated, ranging from the Mediterranean to Antarctica, one intriguing theory links Atlantis with The Bahamas. This article delves deep into the history of the Atlantis myth, explores its possible connection to The Bahamas, and examines the evidence—or lack thereof—supporting this hypothesis.

 The Price of Poison
 
 It starts so small, a whisper in the night,
A taste, a thrill, a spark that feels so right.
But poison courses through your veins so deep,
Awakening a beast that never sleeps.

You lose your compass, morals fade away,
The line between what's right and wrong turns gray.
What once was sacred, now is sold for scraps,
As honour shatters in addiction's trap.

You steal from those you love, without a care,
Your conscience fading, heavy with despair.
The man who once stood proud, now shadows creep,
Robbing innocence and joy you once would keep.
