One day the authorities come by, saying
You've been selected to carry the world;
Atlas is forgiven at last and while they've nothing
Against you they've nothing for you either.
You protest, saying isn't Atlas huge, a very giant
And strong as a mountain? A common misperception
They say. He's actually small and frail;
A pipsqueak any wind could carry off. No one
Has the strength to carry the weight of the world.
Atlas did it for the same reason you will:
We're telling you to.
