PANDORA

PANDORA Some may shrug and call it a fairytale But many then and now, believe it true The first human woman called Pandora Made as a beautiful evil with silver aura Created by Zeus as retribution was due For the gift of fire that had left its trail It was intended that few men could cope A curse on humanity was thus conceived And Hermes gave her a shameless mind Lies and deceit to spread among mankind A jar or box, of plagues she also received When opened, all that remained was hope

I appreciate how you've captured the essence of Pandora...the world has not quite been the same she appeared. I like your craftsmanship and creativity. Have a splendid day, Sara
