Yclept means “named,” an archaic participle from Old English used to evoke medieval or poetic tone. It adds antique flavor to storytelling, fantasy, and humorous mock-medieval writing.

YCLEPT

Yclept

A generation finally arrived on Earth that could live longer than previous ones before it. They consumed less, recycled everything, eliminated government and all currencies. The world finally found its peace. 

Rum distillers still distilled. They bartered their rum bottles for every thing they could need. Garbagemen still worked, as did pharmacists, pediatricians and train conductors, too. Everyone bartered a product or a talent and no one ever needed anything. 

Life continued on and thrived.  More people moved to other lands away from cities by being allowed to build on any land they chose, as long as they took extreme care for said land. Many people grabbed up the allowable sized lots by lakes and other bodies of water, but so much was left everywhere that they finally realized there would never be enough people to cover so much land on the planet. 

Suddenly the world felt tiny again.  The walls feel as if they’re beginning to cave in. 

Fear has a way of destroying societies. This is what’s happening right now in America. People too scared to do anything for change, are finding themselves frustrated behind their screens, twiddling their thumbs hoping to poke sleeping bears through the power of projection. But Jedi mind tricks don’t work in real life, do they?

EXCERPT:  The Great Dictator, —Charlie Chaplin, 1940

You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, To make this life a wonderful adventure. Then - in the name of democracy - Let us use that power - Soldiers in the name of democracy Let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world - A decent world that will give men a chance to work - That will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - To do away with national barriers - To do away with greed, With hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

I changed my music handle to Yclept, ROZE was a bit overused, so I resorted to a thesaurus. It means "by the name of." e.g. "a lady yclept Eleanora" How does everyone like it?
