Aphrodite

Read it and it'll come to you naturallly. Wrote this when I felt rather odd about love.

Treading over so lightly,

Turning the weak into mighty

fixing up the unsightly

and hurting ever so slighty

 

She sets her sights upon me

and begins to sing a song;

Sings of how I act kindly,

she couldn't be farther from wrong

 

Looking towards the light,

I begin to feel

a love that is unfounded,

my lust for her is unreal

 

Her beauty is astounding,

one that I shant forget;

controls those all around me

turning them into pets.

 

However, I shall not be

a slave to sight,

For I choose not to put

myself through that plight

 

For, Aphrodite, I can see who you are

for it is you that has truly marred

our once great society,

a history that is now scarred,

your grasp ever-reaching,

from near to far

 

You are false hope

You are misery

For you are nothing

but a mischievous deity
