How sweet the pain
How it redeems the soul
Nepenthe for the brain
It pays Charon’s toll

Grecian myth and Homer, wisdom
alive and well!
brilliantly, reimagined
and succinctly worded
yet, deep with nuanced
commentary,
on our despairingly mythological, endless
'age of anxiety'
and that, escapism via
Hennessey or Valium induced
warped reality
of nihilistically, grim:
progressive modernity
(just a Brilliant execution!
thanks for sharing)
