Charon -- the Eternal Ferryman

Charon—The Eternal Ferryman The mythical ferryman extraordinaire of such keen gaze, Who braves the Styx and Acheron in the deepest of haze. Charon is a most sordid God who relishes his work as the “Ferryman of Hades,” carrying new souls to their oblivion. With an obolus as payment and a flash of his fiery-fierce eyes, Charon performs his morbid task with a frightening alacrity! With his winged-demon appearance and horrifying demeanor, He terrifies all newly-deceased souls who face his vile being! The world of the dead is the final destination for those who Depart from the dark, dreary shores of the Styx and Acheron. The deft ‘n cruel skull-crushing force of Charon’s ferryman’s pole, Ensures that all lost souls in his charge never question his orders! Charon’s fealty and devotion to Hades are absolute in his actions as He secures the paramountcy of the world of the dead from the living. The fleeting and finite nature of our mortal coil ensures that we shall One day ascend heavenward or descend into a state of total perdition. Without any doubt, if it be perdition, Charon shall be there to greet us With the grim gaze of his fiery-fierce eyes as he carries us to our doom! Don’t forget your obolus—or else! Without this silver coin the wild wrath of Charon shall be upon you! Gary Bateman, Copyright © All Rights Reserved January 21, 2018 (Couplet)
