Only hope,inside,was to remain
Released,it's relief,to ease pain.
The myth of Prometheus/zeus/Pandora & her box...

I'M Fine--Really
Have I ever told you that I have boisterous brawls with
myself over what type of tv show to watch—Greek myth,

My sister in suffering
our stories align
Betrayed by him
you had devoted
your being to serve
Never adored
Mocked and ignored
Driven mad by derision
for no one would listen
Viciously violated

Ain'T No Hercules
The Son of God
ain’t no Hercules,
Jesus Christ
ain’t no Greek myth story
His crucifixion
is real as real can be
And His resurrection
is a gospel tale
the whole world continues to read
The feats of Hercules
is a made up story
The miracles of Jesus Christ
multiplies,
and continues to feed
The Son of God
ain’t no son of Zeus fairytale fable
The power of Jesus Christ
is real ... always is,
and always will be more than able...
