Pandora

Take me back to innocent times,
Let me be that naive child
Whose only fault was a deadly case
Of willful curiosity.

Sweet surrender filled my days
And there was honey in the wind
To satisfy my deepest urge,
To underscore civility.

Long before Pandora’s tryst,
Before the beast of chaos was
Unleashed on unsuspecting souls
There was an uneven peace.

But when the lid was opened
And the demons were set free
There was not a single force
To govern their release.

And we are left to face the test,
To cage the wily fox,
To wrangle with the consequence
And close Pandora’s box.
