A Dark Turn


Zues, all mighty god,

Zues, you are a hog.

Zues, in pregnating women,

Zues, should be ridden from Heaven.

Zues now lurking in the shadows,

Who is that from the deathly hollows?

It is Hades, god of the underworld!

Coming for the right of the throne,

Oh no! We do not have any stones!

Defenseless like a kitten,

Fighting back is forbidden.

Screaming and crying while being in pain,

For now we are no ruled by Hades' reign.
