The Book Of Poemia, Chapter One:
"THE AWAKENING"
© Raul Cortes Jr. 8-3-19
Once upon a time, in a day of dread..
I was drinking my espresso, laid in bed.
Then I got dressed & showered, I hit the streets on my way for bread.
I ran into an old fellow, who offered me info on how to stay ahead.
He said: "My name's Ferdinando Bartolommei, I was recently raised from the dead".
Then he flipped a poemia-coin & asked me "tails or heads?".
I said I'm not a gambler, I chose peace instead.
Then Ferdinando pulled out a peacemaker, aimed at my head.
I had an amulet around my neck, it started glowing red.
Then a laser burst out of the amulet & shrunk the peacemaker into a grain of sand.
Ferdinando was stunned, I took the poemia coin out of his open-hand.
On my way back home, I fell through a lifesize portal, then shot up from the ground of a brand new immortal land.
