Modern Pandora
Curiosity killed the cat -
Pandora would know.
A box or a jar,
Filled with things from below.
When told not to open,
She couldn’t hold back.
Then she released all the evils
That make this world black.
Destruction, despair,
Pain, and sadness.
Evil, and fear,
And torture, and madness.
But that is a story
From a long time ago.
No one believes it -
It still applies though.
Modern Pandora
Is just a young girl
Faced with temptations
That make her life twirl.
The peer pressure attacks
And curiosity presses on.
“I’ll only try one.”
But then she’s gone.
When told not to try it,
She couldn’t hold back.
Then she released all the evils
That made her world black.
Destruction, despair,
Pain, and sadness.
Evil, and fear,
And torture, and madness.
