Evil forces choice, either flee or choose another path choosing between Scylla and Charybdis, that of twin wrath mankind feeble pawn, turbulent vessel of flesh and bones set between rock and a hard place, Hades black undertones or walk onward into blindness as a casualty chained and bound, victim of evil's great ingenuity. (II.) A quandary, such as Odysseus once had to face either battling six-headed beast or drowning in disgrace Time ever offers up this agonizing, sadden choice for fallen man, cursed to answer with ill fated voice deciding, life and death- battle bravely or try to flee from living nightmare between the devil and deep blue sea. (III.) Homer's Iliad And The Odyssey, tells such travails as a Greek hero battles Dark's many ravenous Hells with Hope and Love in his magnificent, courageous heart his salvation, only looking to Heaven can impart yet with wit and faith he later his destination made while never honor, love of family had he betrayed. (IV.) What of world and its cacophony of screaming bandits living without honor, with its insidious gambits too often begging Lady Luck make every gamble pay instead of placing faith in Truth and kneeling down to pray with Scylla and Charybdis, each echoing vicious threats only by divine light, one avoids such destructive nets. (V.) Such in malevolent world, often rears its ugly head we seek treasure, when one should embrace Love and Light instead and in our feasting, selfish desires, our new Fated road we must face accursed bounty of treasures we were sold slaves living blinded by ambitions, in world full of chains ships in distress, sinking from tons of our ill gotten gains. (VI.) Shall we choose wisely, seeking serenity in the Light reaping harvest that comforts even in darkest of nights sail upon bluer seas, watching gleaming heavens soft glow riding peaceful waves, praying our loving families grow knowing goodness and mercy will be our blessed rewards or else continue playing on with, world's stacked deck of cards?
