To Athena Part 3
Now unto those that attempt to quiet me; it is to be known that I will not be
silenced, I will be heard by any and all that can hear; for those that can not read
my words; they will be read aloud unto them; children, parents, even the blind.
It was in fact Zeus himself that thanked Athena; that a mortal man should be
given this; a bard who will tell the true tales of the ages; discriminating to none;
that all mankind may prosper greatly indeed; from their divine teachings.
As each foot now falls before the last; my pen takes me again; the path I walk is
filled with pitfalls and traps of sin that call out to us in kindly voices; wanting only
for us to fulfill human greed.
As I look at humanities greed; “ May our thoughts be changed again to that
which is just and pure, may we again now praise the goddess Athena for the
beauty she cast upon our earth O’ so many ages ago”; I wish now nothing more
to return to this age, to the grandeur of old; may the muses sing again my words,
the words of Athena.
“ I am now again set loose into the world”; taking heed of course; as this body is
but that of a mortal, yet my soul will return again and again; so long as
oppression exists; “We must all do that which is true unto us, we must all be
free, within one another this can be achieved”.
It saddens my soul to it’s very core; humanity has lost that goodness of heart; I
cry out again, “O’ goddess, Athena, as I your servant write your words; I pray now
unto the sisters; Athena, Aphrodite, hear me as I cry out unto thee, help me to
restore unto humanity the love and beauty of your creations, save for that of
Aphrodite’s wars, they I would never wish to befall humankind again”.
There would be indeed nothing more grand; set free again upon this earth the
truth; that one and all sing together as we once did; it is this time that I long for
again; as the masses pass by this bard on the street; “Know now that I am
Homerus, I will Live on forever within the hearts of mankind; and within Athena’s
gifts of beauty I Homerus will always find goodness and peace!”
