The Fire Giver (Other) by OneFingerAnswer Prometheus brought us fire and we left him chained
Our creator and champion turned on while pained
Seabirds daily and forever picking at his liver
For the gift unto his children that he would deliver
I now know how the pain this man must feel
With consent picking at what tries to heal
Heart and soul once again betrayed
Broken again by the fears thought belayed
Up the ladder:
A Puzzling Girl
Down the ladder:
i won't

"I'm glad you metioned the content because I want to get that out of
the way early. This isn't about God and Satan as dieties or religious
figures. Rather it's about "good" and "bad." One
way I was taking it was the idea that good behavior doesn't attract
much attention. I actually had one of my classmates from highschool
in mind. He was a "good kid" and all through high school he
was B/C average. Three days before graduation he ran himself into a
tree in the car his parents had bought him as a graduation present.
He lived through it even though he hadn't meant to. When I asked him
why he did it he said "To be remembered." To be honest, I
think it worked." by the way this is profound, thanks, i understand now. Sorry about earlier my brain is acting up again.
And Wow! A 10? I never give tens and never in my wildest dreams expected to get one. Thanks.
