Pandora's Box (Free verse) by PoeticXTC
A box within a box, within a box
Shallow, hollow, empty box,
Or is it?
Like building blocks
Of stone; of steel
Anger, frustration
Collecting within
Forming a great wall.
A wall of ravaging anger
Thrusting, pounding, raging
To be set free.
Set free from cementations of feelings
Clusters and clusters,
Of regrets, next hatred, next to lust and greed
Wanting to be the best
Beat all the rest,
Longing to be number ONE.
But this wall; this wall
Of ungratefulness, un-peacefulness
Shields any such victory from being reality.
Such a hollow, fragile box
Tightly packed, shelled in tight
With a golden lock and key.
Who bares such a key?
The key to set me free
Free of the emotion
Free of the emptiness.
Who bares such a power?
The power to unlock this golden lock
With that golden key
To knock down this wall and set me free
To open this box,
Within a box, within a box
This shallow, hollow empty box
Or is it?
