Curse (working title)

The gods devised a horrid plague
Then sent it down to earth
A curse to dim the brightest day
To follow all from birth.

It holds the power to destroy
Kingdoms great and small
It also has the pow’r to kill
Any -- yea -- and all

There isn’t any cure for it
In time twill run it’s course
Till everyone is dead and deep
Such is its power -- such its force

The strongest die the fastest
Great men have fallen prey
Though they played by all the rules
Their dead and deep today

It lurks in every city
Infects each tiny town
Soon each will succumb to it
And then all will bow down

The gods devised a horrid plague
Then sent it from above.
Wrapped in a tiny heart-shaped box
And smiling called it "Love."

    Don't quite remember myself, but I don't think so, I was probably more likely reading Greek mythology and thinking about Promithius and Pandora

Irreversable

half a league half a league half a league onward. . . a wind which whips the puddles dry. . .my friend you would not tell with such high zest. . . here where the world is silent. . .he took his vorpal sword in hand. . .nothing beside remains. . .the sun was shining on the sea. . . all the kings horses and all the kings men . . . lives of great men all remind us. . .

Once uttered, the words can't be unsaid
Once thought, a thoughts un-unthinkable
The written word can't be unread
A dream, once dreamt is unsinkable

So exposed our lives are filled
With a richness incomparable,
Which in time will always yeild
A damage unrepairable.
