Pandora's Misery

Pandora's emotions,

Put in a box,

When it is opened,

What might you find?

Anger

That burns and destroys,

Fury untouchable,

Burning outside.

Hate

That lies and ruins,

Unreasonably mad,

Flowing outside.

Fear

That takes and consumes,

Terror unreachable,

Struggling outside.

Despair

When lost and alone,

Struggles unbearable,

Growing outside.

Greed

That finds and exploits,

Twists thoughts unkindly,

Thirsting outside.

Mistrust

That gnaws and devours,

Sense so irrational,

Creeping outside.

Hope

That rebuilds,

So often neglected,

Found inside.

Last in the box,

The thing that can save us,

Should not be lost.
