Wherein Man's Dark Curse, Felled The Olympic Gods',
Part Two

(III.)

Alas! Cold silence, the depths of darkening wrath
Came to invade the fallen god's newborn nightmare
Waking to find agony and his earthen path
Twas his penalty for flouting Fate without care
Standing upon mountains created by his words
The vanquished God in disgust looked at earth's sad plight
Its wickedness, the apathy of its vast herds
As he saw, "only savage darkness comes from might"!
In newfound revelation, deep regret set in
Time laughed at his great folly and his sad dismay
He now saw his mistake giving power to men
Gifting Fate its method to increase its decay
Blinded to his ever-faithful enemy Time
Its unification with Fate, invincible
Alas! Was his epic blindness his greatest crime
From the Hidden had then burst the invisible!
Wisdom and sight had arrived but both were too late
All were mysterious acts of the great Unknown
He had never thought Time would find its true soulmate
With Fate unite to infect earth, all he had grown
As years of isolation sapped his god-powers
And far greater man's belligerence contempt grew
Upon earth, mankind built its dark massive towers
With ever greater wrecking its treasures accrue!

Time remains invincible, its powers supreme.
Combined with Fate as an unconquerable team.

(IV.)

Looking back the fallen god finally shed tears
Not for his coming demise but for what was lost
How the universe now suddenly switched its gears
And in its wake, the olden gods had paid the costs
In crying loneliness, he saw earth's newest scenes
How these mortals his paradise sought to destroy
As they with pride strut around with a peacock's preen
And dare to slash his garden as if a mere toy!
That night the old god sought out the deepest abyss
Determined to flee, to never look back at all
In dying sorrows, swearing man to never miss 
Cursing fervently mankind, its arrogant gall
As morn's bright sun its radiant rays cast anew
The last fallen god imagined a place of dark
For Time and Fate had both given their sweet adieu
Sealing that trek upon which he must now embark!
Earth was teeming, dark days basking in man's decrees
Paying no heed to the last fallen god's leaving
Mankind was too busy poisoning earth, and seas
To stop dark lustful greed to ever start grieving
O the horror as the fallen god did look back
To find that the mortals were warring yet again
With their cuts, slashing, ripping, and great deceiving
Splashing what was beautiful with hideous stains!

Time remains invincible, its powers supreme.
Combined with Fate as an unconquerable team.
