327 The Plea of the Blinded Cyclops

327.

The Plea of the Blinded Cyclops



Trespasser! How dare you do this to me?!

Now with your blunder no more I can see!

After having my shelter & fodder then you'll flee!



Ungrateful! I sheltered you but my eye you shattered!

I fed you but my blood you splattered!

Now I will crush you and your nasty herd!



Animals! I will flay you alive once your're snatched!

I will shred your flesh once you're clutched!

Don't know my brutality has never been matched?!



Criminals! You will soon pay for your brutality!

Don't you know you have enraged thee?!

Thee you have offended…the mighty god of the sea!



Godless! How dare you inflict the son of a god?!

For yourself it's fruit is really, really bad!

For me my father to you is really, really mad!



Insane! Odysseus, also you deserve a cruel bane!

Poseidon! Hear your son, Polyphemus, wrenching in pain!

Let not this Plea of the Blinded Cyclops fall in vain!
