Tantalus’ struggle
Is one of my own
Forever reaching for something
Never to have a home.
My mind growls with desire
My lips quiver with thirst
In a world down below
Suffering the worst.
Danaus’ daughters
Held a similar fate
Incessant penance paid
Their hearts filled with hate.
The styx river’s water
Will never be enough
The Greek Gods of legends
Calling the mortal’s bluffs.
My memory full of blunders
My heart always in despair,
Always the human and his ego,
Always an inseparable pair!
