State of Olympus


Olympus is a state with all of its power

Zeus at the throne, civilians hide and cower

He is our president, executive decisions with ease

And right behind him, our vices Poseidon and Hades.

 

Department of defense, protecting and to seize

All commanded by our war twins Enyo and Ares.

Agriculture, poultry, all for plants and the hunt

With Demeter and Aretemis at the forefront.

 

And Transportation, it’s all about the transitions

Captained by Janus with very high ambitions.

Education for the youth, all with wisdom

Carried by Athena, department head at her thumb.

 

In our State of Olympus, celebrities are at an all time high

Such as our war hero Hercules, who reached for the sky

Or Aphrodite, our most followed instagram model

Or the drunk Dionysus, who drinks alcohol in every bottle.

 

Or maybe Hermes, the quickest postman in the state

Or Hephaestus, making new iPhones at an alarming rate.

How can we forget about the scandalous Medusa, but save the face

Our Cerberus, the coolest doggo in this place.

 

Olympus is a state, with all of its power

It blooms with excitement and figures like a flower

With a role for everyone, and in Zeus we trust

The state of Olympus, is all just.
