The Frozen Prometheus Thus Spoke
I am the Prometheus in the fridge,
punished by the vengeful evils
from the world where I set up a fire of courage
that kindles the candle
to bring back light.
“Let her fire forever in this freezer sleep,” they said.
I am the Prometheus in the fridge,
chained in the freezer.
My frozen heart
is dragged out, abandoned,
regenerates and duplicates.
Then bond as new chains
clanging, Leaving me in mere pain.
If I rise
would the duplicated hearts,
once piled up, frozen, hard as forts,
downfall like the Titans of Cronus?
If I rise
would those clanging chains
once locking, echoing, cold as steel,
be torn apart?
If I rise,
there will be light
penetrating through the land
where no sun shines.
If I rise,
the fire I set on the other side
will heat up my heart, and wake up my fire
once sleeping on this dark side.
So I rise,
with no more ice
stiffening my heart and mind,
like a spear tossed toward the sky.
I cut the chains, knock down the forts
then I continue to spike
through the eternal silence.
