I, Pandora
The queen of Instagram, influencer of all
Adjust my lighting, find my angle
A chime and a swipe, and I see her puckered lips
my biggest competitor, duckfacing for the world
Her eyes were soft
She was beautiful up close
By nature and for no one else
But men desire what they don’t have
Her eyes were panicked
She told him no
Cried for help
But no one came
Once the author of the Trojan Horse,
Brilliant schemer, master fighter,
Once a myth,
Now the best of chess, of course!
Odyssues the leader of the team,
Master of all his opponents moves,
Do you see them?
A shadow of what once was
Drifting in on the tide
Settling into the sleepy sea foam
The earth had spun for many years
Yet equality was offered to very few.
Women started gathering fears
That their equality never would be true.
Soon, however they were set to rest,
Anubis stands on cold marble
The hall of truth full with queues of people
Though times have changed
the scale of judgment stays the same
The heart is measured against the feather
The team floats into the back of gym, passing the torches that burn with a bright red flame,
lyres and violis sing harmoniously, signaling the start of the ballgame.
The Serpent swam amongst the stars, the Stream of starlight wrapping round its body
not yet marred by the future scars that would be left by sons and daughters. Lok was
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, why do you stay in your lair?
Don’t you see there is a whole world out there?
While you sit and wait
Time passes by
Any more sitting-
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
Persephone, a lovely flower
Looking forward to every spring shower
She looks out on her botany students
In order to take attendance.
Queen of the Underworld
