I=Pandora

Pandora was stupid, idiotic, foolish

Opened she the box binding all evils

Why couldnt she have listened and bean wary?

We’d all have been so happy now

So we say and crib all day

And blame pandora for our own despair

And so i cribbed and said all day

Until i became Pandora

It was the source of joy and bliss

But also the path of dreaded despair

See it i could as i wished

But the sight was both ways so bitter

And i was told just let it be

Please dont break this strand of solace

You’ve torn her heart apart already

Now stay at least for her to pray

And caught was i in this web i wove

As so was i also told

Its what i did, the seeds i sowed

Whose fruit was what was caught in my throat

A prickly fruit which stung and bled

But like sweet poison my heart it kept

Or was it really there i thought?

Is this just another superficial bout?

I bore till i could bear no more

And held till i could hold no longer

She worshipped and pled and wept and begged

For the strand she could not bear to lose

And finally wisdom dawned

As i saw the foolishness of my own escapade

Pandor a was foolish had i thought

And here i was with my own box

I opened it and out they flew

Pain, suffering, hunger and disease

But glad i was till the very end

till he came out with ease

And i saw the bloody scythe

And the nightmarish reality bite

But contented was i for i had done

My scheduled misdeed

And still they say Pandora was foolish

But now i do not agree

For i now realize that what had been

Was always meant to be

For can we dreamsweet bereft of nightmares

Can we live without death

Can we be cured without illness

Can love be void of its end?

Today i dream and heal and recover

But yesteryear do i not forget

For it was she who taught me well

The lessons of regret

And so i say oh hallowed ones

Pandora is there and here with us

Cry not nor weep at the opened box she has

For it was after all a box with a latch... It was meant to be opened.
