Pandora's Rift
For who is she that unleashed the cruel world upon herself?
As curiosity surrounds her like the continental shelf
She walks among the dead knowing it is her own blame
Hiding her head in the hood of the tame
Up a hill she climbs to take his hand and stands
Watching as they go the way of all flesh demands
So what if she tries to pick up and fight on.
So what if she tries to pack up and move on.
So what if she tries to make up then to let on.
For who is she that is subject to the oracle on the hill?
Beautiful to all but one, who has fated her to fulfill
This man or that, it doesn’t really matter who
Nothing is so true as the arrows pack it through
The warrior of pain leaves less behind to claim
For the sorry few who would still love the lame
So what if she files all her claims to them.
So what if she files all her rows for them.
So what if she files down her brain with them.
For who is she to say Hope lays at the bottom?
Buried so deep under evil, ills, and love
The pithos a gift of revenge for fire’s theft
As is the woman who bares the gift bereft
Sadness for her as she looks out from under her hood
And sadness for her as she still tries to be good!
So what if the girls don’t follow the rules.
So what if the boys don’t follow the rules.
So what if the twain don't follow the fools.
So you tell me, why do we need to follow the rules?
Can't we be invincible in the face of the world?!
YES! the answer is Yes!! We ARE invincible in the face of the world! It's the rules that bind us to Death. WE have learned over and over that we shall perish....that it is the "learned" rule of life 101. It's when we stray from the rule's....we become invincible.....
Deep and moving words. So who was you "muse"?
