The letters of Hades
A poem
The letters of Hades
Arrived just in time
When Zeus was with his ladies
He sung his own hymn
He transformed into bull
Into swan, into gold
His ego was full
And his heart often cold
His brother, though different
In essence and fame
His moral was bent
And he would not refrain
From wreaking his havoc
From spreading his spite
He was into madness
O, he was seeking a fight
When Hera awoke
From her terrible dreams
Wanting to talk to her husband
But, as often, it seems…
Zeus was gone
Nowhere near to be found
Hera got angry
Her rage was unbound
The fire lit bright
The Olympians woke up
United in might
Raising their golden cup
Twelve deities, no emperor
But a new leader was born
With the daughter of Cronos
Though she had felt forlorn
As hope unfolded
With Tyche’s rhyme
Soon they had molded
Their goddesses’ dime
There was Demeter, Ares
To name a few
Dionysus and Hermes
Brooding their brew
There were Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis
Coming with strength
They were none to miss
There was Hephaestus
The god of forgery and craft
And Aphrodite, the youngest
Who had a tendency for graft
And let’s not forget
The brilliant Athena
The patroness of arts
And the strategic arena
Despite moments of friction
Between the goddess of harvest
And the god of the sun
The Olympian team
Had a myriad of fun
These gods…
So great, unique and quirky they were
They were none to follow
They had troubles that might reoccur
Zeus did not see or hear
Anything at all
He was with his muses
And the muses muted his call
The gods hopped into their chariots
Without hesitation
No more procrastination
Just the goal within the mind’s vegetation
All of them cheered in greatest elation
And Hera proclaimed
Once and for all
Let us change Hades!
Let all the walls fall!
