True Survival
By: Lawrence W Langman (c)
Inside these storied 
halls I seek.
The wisdom from it's
magical mystique.
The scrolls written
in inks of blood.
So many lost in
the last flood.
The stories foretell
of a coming storm.
For sacrifice brings
all souls to morn.
Knowledge is power
in the right hands.
It comes at a cost 
survival demands..
So within these pages
a secret dost hide.
Written in crimson for
our eyes now descried.
So here it is scribed
as plain as my hand.
An underground city
a forgotten land.
Here lies our refuge from
the rages of earth.
A new dawn will waken
a new life rebirth.
For not all shall make
the journey ahead.
To all that desires
a new homestead.
