I Will Rule

I Will Rule! I, Hades am forced to do this? Rule the underworld? All because of a draw Of course, my two brothers get the best ones while I stay hidden and feared Dad loved Zeus more so, of course, Zeus would have the best part of worlds At least I am the god of wealth, and my precious hat makes me invisible. Still, how am I a god of death when I can’t even control the death? If I am to rule this hopeless world, I shall rule with an iron fist No one will be allowed to leave! I shall make everyone just as miserable as I am No one will speak; everyone will work and your souls will be mine But how am I to rule alone- A wife, yes a wife, no; A slave If I can remember correctly, Zeus has a daughter What better wife for me than her? I think her name is Persephone- Yes, she will be perfect Once I have her, she will be mine. Oh, don’t scream- You will be happy ruling the world by my side- Well, now I have a queen Ugh, here comes my all mighty brother- I shall make everyone bow to me, I will kill anyone and everyone! Now I need a loyal companion- Dog? No it needs to be scary- Hmm, how about a 3 headed dog with a mane of snakes and a tail of a snake He will guard me and protect me against the fools who dare try to battle me He shall be lethal He will imprison the dead in the underworld He will be able to see the past present and future; I will be invincible! My brothers will even quiver in fear at my feet- I can see it- All souls will belong to me, Everyone will quiver at the name Hades
