God of Fire: Vulcan

God of Fire: Vulcan

A Story by John Murray

A son of Gods; instead of proud, she was Grey an’ Affright
Cast off of Mount Olympus, I fell for a Day and a Night

Suffering a broken leg, and left to Face it Alone
And I wasn’t satisfied, until the Cremation of Rome

An underground grotto, I gained Redemption from Thetis
And mythological life, without one Mention of Jesus

Not great by association? how Foolish a Thesis
Sculptor of Pandora; Uncle to Romulus and Remus

Manufactured iron, arts and arms; was the Garner of Rods
Furnished thunderbolts for Jupiter, and made Armor for Gods

Such genius from the child that Juno Neglected to Keep
Rejected to Meet her until I had Perfected the Seat

Adorned with mother-of-pearl; crafted from Silver and Gold
Confined to her throne, the metal bands turned her Bitter and Cold

Juno sat and fumed til Jupiter chose to Shift the Plight
For her emancipation from Vulcan, he Promised a Wife

Goddess of Love, Venus unfaithful? Cause Ire and Brought Clash
To hot iron under Mount Etna, which emits Fire and Hot Ash
