Alas Babylonia has Fallen

Alas the once Great City of Babylon has fallen prey to the very things that once made it great and wonderful for all who were participants in its many adventures and all that it offered.

"How can this city fall not unlike other cities, such as Rome, Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, Syria and all the many others that fell prey to their own wickedness and undoing?"

"Was it their greed to be bigger and better than all the other cities who were possibly there long before they arrived and took over for their own purposes?" "What made one city greater than another?"

"Was it possible that only a handful of individuals set the wheels of progress in motion, by convincing them to rise for the better, when the better may not have worked as well for them as it did for others before them?"

There was one more modern city, more like a country, which was ran by one man with an iron fist and he tricked many to follow him in trying to destroy a whole generation of people who may or may not have been completely responsible for their plight. He, like many before him, was set on world domination and being the dictator to make it happen. He failed as well as the others.

Adolf Hitler, Alexander the Great, Julius Cesear, Napolean, Attila the Hun, all were many greats along with the lesser greats who all had an idea and many plans to become a wonder that legends are made of. They want to be remembered for what they tried but not what they failed at. They didn't see failure as a success.

Then when they were on the verge of making it big, in whatever form and fashion they were using to put their plans into motion, it fell apart and sent them downward instead of upward. They thought of everything except for the consequences of their own actions.

The very thing that caused their downfall was the very thing that unified them in a common cause beyond measure. It gave them a false sense of hope and caused the dreams they invented in their minds to become less a reality and more a fallacy.

It jeopardized their well driven madness into deeper illusional ideals and beliefs that made them begin to think they were invincible, if not infinite. They became more their own worst enemy and they would hallucinate when they were approached by those who they once revered.

The paranoia was overwhelming, the stress, fear, worry, doubt and adding to this the use of medications also, had them wanting to work harder and move faster into the abyss. The inner sanctum that was to become less realism.

The cities of the once long forgotten time, are only brought to light, when those who dig up the past and reintroduce such a past in hopes to breathe new life into such a past that should remain buried, not allowed to be seen by all in the present, for this may be opening Pandora's Box on a multiple level.

When you look at the past in a modern light, seeing what made them fail and what made them great, you see in no difference of light, because both was their rise and their falling, better yet their failing on a grand scale.

Success on the backs of others labor is not the best way to keep loyal people who will one day turn their backs on you. Neither are the failures of all the way to add a punishment that may keep them downtrodden and beaten down. They too may rise and brown beat those who oppressed them in the first place.

Any of the many cities mentioned throughout history, both worldly and biblically equally can teach us the many lessons needed to make future wiser decisions, when deciding how far something will take us and will it hurt us in the end more than help us to benefit from it.

The cities both real and ones in fairy tales written by those to discredit the idea that some cities can become fact or a work of fiction.

Past wars, battles, conflicts, arguments, fights, anything that is part of the development and discovery, of all that can make us realize, "without the past reminding us, then the past is definitely intended to repeat itself".

Most will never admit this because they do not want to believe this is possible. Any city's past has caused it trouble, and it was taken over and either it merges with certain places, it was completely wiped out or just was left in ruins to fend for itself.

"How was one that knew back in the past ever actually care about the outcome of something that may before the events, make it more valuable in one piece or would be the end of its existence?"

"How can we be sure that those who remove the past out of stupidity or anger, that they will be punished for such an action that would be done because they ignored the warnings and the signs that pointed to the two very different outcomes entirely?"

It has been the downfall of mankind too, being that only one way to convince man to become better than what he was, was to place a greater temptation in front of him and see if he takes the bait.

There must always be a leader or someone who is proven to be the one to lead with a value and moral standards that align with others who think like them. As this one starts to lead others, as the ones who follow are being led to the slaughter and the one leading will step out of the way so those who followed and will die.

The fallen will be forgotten all to soon. Not remembered in any way, only by those who become devoted to a cause that was placed into motion many times over, yet with the same end results.

The ones who fell along with the cities that fell, are every day, resurfacing and being reinvented, into a more modern look, yet are the same as their predecessors and the ones that come after the modern ones fall too.

It can be disheartening and discouraging, yet the fight rages on and the ones behind the fight will meet their match, until the last one stands to fight another day.
