Pandora's box

Lorenz

Pandora's box opens up .

Human with monsters faces appear .

Toppling the witche's cauldron

and hanging  Harry Potter 

on the gallows ...

 You've fred the soul eaters !

War, misery and hunger 

 will be you fate !

  You laughted at Cassandra's imprecations !

Smiling at  the foly of your  president...

Epidemic miasma escapes from the box 

the starving riders are back !

Can you hear the crow's  heavy flight  ?

The servile dark jack holds the cards 

    and scoops the pot !

   But the game's skewed .

 You've opened the sorcery box ,

dance at the ball of the damned 

 all lewdly entwined ..

 Dragged into the burning eternal cold.

 Skeletons greedy for the meat of the livings,

requiem for the nations ,

brigants and poor devils 

confused by such a judgement ,

  none is innocent .

  just sepulchral violence ...

Pilatus what have you done 

 with the good preacher ?

  And you guardians of the law ,

master of the crematorium,

dressed in tunics of dust ,

necrologists  adoring 

the mumified mother ,

  standing  at the right hand

 of the prophet of the times ,

bearer of the true cross banner

and spiders leader ! 

  Books blaze ! songs rise ! 

Ashes of children 's tales ...

  Moloch decides who will give birth .

  Demon's name is legions !

  It will roll away the stone 

reaveling the naked tomb ,

Mike Jagger singing its coming !

 Mike Tyson lord of the ring ...

   Subjected you'll have no choice 

but to get down on your knees !

Fallen knights marked with the sign,

woman from your breast flows vinegar...

 The black-hole box will suck you in...

    Full of dark images this poem addresses the demonic and how it is presented. Nicely written

    • Lorenz

      Prophetic reality ! Alas ! Cassandra is mocked !

    • Friendship

      poem serves as a cautionary tale, warning against complacency in the face of suffering and injustice. It urges readers to consider the consequences of their choices and the moral implications of societal actions. The use of dark imagery and allusions to myth reinforces the idea that history may repeat itself if lessons are not learned.

      • Lorenz

        Not to know history is to condemn oneself to seeing it repeated !

      • Ellen Marsell

        The theme of the eternal repetition of humanity’s mistakes, of power playing with people’s fates, and of the inevitability of self-destruction runs through the entire text. There is no traditional image of hope left at the bottom of Pandora’s box - only inevitability. A striking and powerful work.

          F.Nietsche and the philosophical concept of the ''Eternal recurrence ''.
