The Result of Her Curiosity
Sweet Pandora,
Your curiosity has cost us all.
Pain, death, suffering, turmoil--
How dare you disobey the gods?
Why did you allow yourself to open the box?
Sweet Pandora,
Your curiosity brought us all pain.
You curiosity brought on the darkness and evil
That they, the gods above, tried to protect us from.
Opening the box, one simple action, fear for all.
Sweet Pandora,
You have taught us all a bittersweet lesson.
You have given us the lesson of grief and sadness
But you have also taught us how to hope.
You give us hope everyday for the best,
Rather then the best be given to us easily.
Sweet Pandora,
You have given us contrast.
Life and death, darkness and light,
Hope and fear, the sun and the moon.
You have saved our lives, and we thank you deeply.
