Errs do start; as divinity,
where faults; range’s; infinity,
those in clouds, divide their toys,
to make their favourite girls and boys,
as to a beggar, there’s despot,
Fortuna hands crime, their jackpot,
decisions repeat, familiar hell,
no truth is pure, just; sickness; well,
dynamic duos; made of dust,
Aphrodite; gives her trust,
ensuring; ones, remain the freaks,
yet, vows are breached; so; twos; are weak,
we are broken, coz’ Olympus rots,
the twelve; and many; are the blots,
mocking children, unaware,
the gods they pray to, don’t much care!

- Comment from author about the poem: If there are godly forces, that are at work, I AM NOT IMPRESSED! The norm has never been so awful, with it being a recipe for calamity, where overcomplication and moral reprehensibility are woefully accepted into the daily routine, and if there is such a thing as a pantheon of gods, acting as custodians of certain traits, it seems they are decidely inactive, when things reach crisis level! I picked Greek mythology, as there are a fair few myths involving the Olympians gods, that leave a lot to be desired, including Zeus acting like a premiership footballer/a certain ex-Hollywood producer/a certain ex-Prince of Great Britain, who "doesn't know" what the word "permission" means! (Another Greek mythology inspired poem entirely about Zeus might be on the cards soon!) Luck in money and the favouritsim of romantic love, is a horrid divide of humanity, thus, I have singled out Lady Fortuna and Aphrodite for this poem. Again, if the gods are real, they should be "just deciders", rather than "enitities of preference". It makes for such a "warry atmosphere", when "fair equality" isn't practiced at all! Accompanying this poem is an apt picture of a mountain quite like Olympus, an "ordinary" mountain, that is smaller than you think. I hope that you enjoy and take something from this "fantastical rant" of a poem, and as always, please do stay safe in the madness everyone!
