Clamor

Hey Poseidon! Ulysses yelled At the great god of unlimited ocean When will your furious blind anger end? When will you stop throwing me Aimlessly from island to island? Do you see how your raging temper Is building up my immortality? I will live in song eternally While you will be remembered Only because of me Let me go back to my little house And grow old Doing that little human job That you couldn’t do Even though you are a god
