Prometheus


Prometheus
Sing me in the glen,
A tale of great schism,
Of Men, of Women,
Who accepted no “ism.”

Of the One with the hemlock cup,
Not a value he would sacrifice;
Of the Man who refused to sup,
No enslavement would suffice

The Woman who inspired a nation,
And ended a century war;
A Man of great cultivation,
Was betrayed by a fiddler for;

These People of great Soul,
The ones who gave fire;
Died for a goal,
Because a man was a liar.

But they won long ago,
Those of self sincerity;
Whose noble footsteps echo,
In the halls of eternity.
- L.C.
