Democratisis

Intended to be in the style, or spirit, of mythology. Not necessarily of Western origin, the development of the name is a childish manipulation of phonics not an intellectual accomplishment.

Daughter of Illuminus & Gaia
the very Light & Place of Life as we know it
She told her parents to rule was to know all as a neighbor
They tried everything to cure her this perversion of rule
Even resorting to public lashing
The first princess of the gods reduced to a peasant
Not even killed & sent to the Nether World
With all its irresistible power
They gathered their wealth & drew out a powerful Mage
Hidden, for millennia, behind the lost memory of his purpose
He cursed her to bare humanity's destruction
She would bare children
Each would raise a different voice distinct from all others
Her children will rend each other for all time
She will never be able to convey one's heart too any other
But she is doomed, as the Mother, to eternally try
Each child will try to please her
Give to her what they see they lack
The most terrified will give her honor
And lay waste to all others
Unsatisfied, unconquerable, unrelenting
Violence will blossom at the expense of the nutrients from the ground
And Democratisis, will see her seed finally turn within
This is her curse for her flaw, her sin, her chosen identity
There can be no gods or goddesses as her ever again
Therefore she can never be killed
And never will be
She will only be reduced to nill, to a mere din
To the very energy that destroys her this is the mother of humanity
And when she has lost all
She will bare children once again, for all time

Very nice written, it almost made me go to the kitchen to grab popcorn and orange juice to read it several times. Is very difficult to write poetry in that style, Congratulations.
