Prometheus

Bound by Hephaestus, Kratos, and Bia

With stake and chain 

The implements restrain

The Titan to a jagged cleft of Gaia

This - the unjust imprisonment

For the theft of fire

Which

Fills his soul with ire,

Malcontent, resent, and torment

The benefits, his gift bestows

Leaves his flesh in bitter throes

As time amasses and grows

So too, his agonizing echoes

His punishment for his action

Effects like a cataclysmic reaction

Mentally the downpour begins to mar –

Knowing, Pandora will soon out-pour her jar…

Yet, despite his suffering and the many evils

(The torture – the pain and plague which spills);

In the pithos one feeling still remains

Hope, is all the vessel still contains.

Composed By: A.D.

Note: I reworked the play/idea/message, a bit; to deliver a different message... I also left out punctuation, unless I felt the syntax would be too ambiguous. Enjoy. Inspired by Aeschylus.
