I was sleeping for so long.
I am now awake to my body destroyed
The Gods have allowed humans to run amok
The humans have cut down my trees
Polluted my waters
Cronos and Rhea, better known as mother and father.
More like corrupt, wealthy leaders of the town rather,
Cronos was the former mayor and still held a power,
Rhea had not had to work an hour.
Whosoever should soar to great heights
Shall encounter there no earthly delights
But instead will grasp with empty hand
Treasures found not upon land
At least, that's what Icarus was told
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
So Jill came tumbling after.
Jill up to run, called 911, and frantically waited,
An untamable spirit, fierce, full of love.
As dangerous as a hurricane, more calming than a dove.
Some claim she’s a warrior, retaining belligerence.
There was a god named Herucles, who was really strong
who needed his might and muscle and nothing could go wrong.
His father is Zeus and mother is Alcmene
and then there's Hera, his vengeful step-mommy.
She's got glossy black hair,
An hourglass figure,
Vibrant blue eyes
And thick velvet lips.
She is skinny and tall,
An envy to all,
But she
Is no more than a picture.
Prologue:
Beauty was never something I set out to find;
It was simply thrust upon me.
Without regard to who I really am inside,
The saying goes “Don’t fly to close to the sun”
You’ll only burn yourself in the end
It was just too good to be true
Isn’t that what they say?
Or did the luck
Sweet Persephone,
Skipping through the hallway with a flower crown atop her head,
Her curls cascading down her back like a waterfall
Naïve Persephone,
Unaware of how many aim to make her their girlfriend
To watch from above,
Is to spectate the world
To be a god,
Is to have the power to change it.
Yet they do not.
Zeus is a king,
Medusa started her own trend
Everyone wanted snakes on their head too
But Posiden wouldn't curse them
Medusa started her own trend
Everyone wanted snakes on their head too
But Posiden wouldn't curse them
The Nattskrekk, was well known by children and families,
Yet not at all.
He’s been around since the beginning of time.
He haunted dreams of young and old alike.
Now Im sitting around,
my god, cant sleep
Bear in a body bag
stored closed, life lost
Mom is sad
Taken by Lucifier's soldier bullets of hate and rage
For no reason at all
