Poem

I was forsaken by my brothers and even me
Banished into the darkness and deep into the sea,
Forsaken by all but almighty god,
I am alive, yet I do not live,
Scarred in my soul, left in the abyss
Of the treacherous, of the betrayers
And of people like me

I have no hope
No strive for peace
No declaration of defiance
Nor one of mutiny
I follow as a sheep
Alas my shepherd has not the best in mind for me
And what shall I do?
With such as he
Who leads me into hell?
Happily so
He that betrays was my brother so long ago
Yet I have not forgotten, unlike he
The laughs we shared, the cries we cried
Together and with solidarity


There is nothing more to do
Than to remember
The days long gone
Whence I was rich
Whence I enjoyed the splendors of the heavens
Yet it is all gone

Nothing more remains
Only the darkness and the desolate abyss
I am not ozymandias, to remind of my glories
Nor am I Odysseus helplessly stranded at sea.
I am my pitiful self struggling for equality
For the rights of my sons and those after me
I fight for honor and with vicious intensity
Nothing matters but my true identity

With my last breath I shall whisper
Into the night, the identity of he
Who speaks to you of his life
Condemned to wander in eternal strife
The streets and alleys
Of fair Hades
Gone is his light
Gone is his honor and pride
All that is left is the faint glow of light
At the end of the passage from this life
