The Pallas Athena

The Pallas Athena

Daughter of Zeus

Born from his skull

And a mother forgotten.

She still lives among us

Goddess of strategy and war

Wars on the homefront

Of injustice and strife

Of dehumanization and lies

The head of every protest

Organizer

Leader

Warrior

The Pallas Athena

Stands for the weak

The weary women

The forgotten children

She was forgotten once

Never again

Never for anyone

The Pallas Athena

Patron of thinkers

Patron of fighters

Still lives among us

Still fights 

Still plans

Wise leader

Wise warrior

Defender of those forgotten
