Nightmares, Ravages of a Prometheus, Free and Unchained From My New Blog

Nightmares, Ravages Of A Prometheus, Free And Unchained from my new blog (I.) What of life, mortality and blessings of virgin ground Philosophy, religion and *Prometheus unbound Of Mother Nature, illuminations and transcendence Science, and vanity of weakened mortal dependence Light keeping darkness, destruction, life has now earth so stained From horrors of gifting new god, Prometheus unchained? (II.) Should we, of flesh and bones, such magnificent heights aspire As did Prometheus, myth tells stole Olympus's fires Titan of old, that sought to make mortals into dark Gods Giving humans that which evil gifts with sly winks and nods Temptation, powers and greed sent to we of mortal flesh To further ensnare and our weaken souls deeply enmesh! (III.) What of Light, warmth and beauty of a glowing sunny day That heart endearing enchantment of morn's first call to pray Was there not enough to satisfy man's lustful desires Without need for that of creation gifted by fires Or dark truth, perhaps Prometheus did correctly see Search to expand into evil, mortals lusts to be free! (IV.) Are we so weak that evil, its darkness always remains Unbreakable bindings, of ours and Prometheus's chains Or can we ever through enlightenment, seeking hearts find That merciful key, that both hope and divine light reminds Will award salvation and blessings that every soul needs Vanquishing inherent savagery from our altered seeds? (V.) What of arrogance that humanity has now embraced That audacity of our thought, science has God replaced Or Prometheus was hero- savior of all mankind When instead flame given us was to our mortal souls bind Into abyss of growing pride and shallow vanity A curse upon earth and in turn, all of humanity! (VI.) Was Prometheus's gift a curse, poisonous Trojan horse A black scourge, that sets man on a most calamitous course Into gaping jaws of turmoil, blight of horrendous might Race into dark and darker, black echoes of a lost night Or shall we wake to this truth of truths to joyously find Only divine light, God's love and light will heal eyes so blind!
