Prometheus
Told with truth
Seething with anger
Indistinguishable voices
Instantaneous response
Suffused senses overwhelmed
blinding righteousness
Again and again
Yesterday, today
Since that time
Forgotten in memory
When you were berthed
Now very much alive
Cuddled coddled
Unwanted child
Unaware, stealthy
Hiding, unknown
Speaker of violent voices
Smoldered scorched
Puzzled people
Wondered why
A lifetime pregnancy
Sired by some
Unknown pain
Rip me open
For I would
Birth the beast
