The Evolution of Merucia

About the Book

This is the story
Of a land called Merucia,
A country that's on
The west side of Earthucia.

It's how they got to Point "A,"
From Point "A" to Point "B,"
And if they're not careful,
They'll arrive at Point "C."

As you might guess,
It's written in rhyme.
It's new, yet familiar,
At the same time.

It's the story of Merucian
Present, future, and past,
And how they must change forever
For their country to last.
