Medusa, The Myth Unfold
Suspend for a while your sense of query
I am to tell you an old tragic story
Revealed unto my solemn heart
A myth that was wrongfully taught
In a far away land of ancient Greece
Dwelt a highland lass in ease
Fairer than Helen was she in appearance
I, in lines few reveal unto you
Her virtue and acquaintance
Gentle to all young and old
By heaven and earth she was extolled
In youth she served the goddess`s temple
From soul to heart was innocent ample
Vanity and vengeance from heavenly figure*
Eroded the life of this maiden fair
For the sin of temptation of heavenly race**
She was cursed and horridly deface
Venomous vipers, rattling around her neck,
That turned a being into rock
With her noxious gaze and look
The anguish that never quench
A fragrance that turned into stinky stench
As she refused the gods to be wench
A rustic figure with crying heart
Ah! Demon and monster she was thought
Her cheer and bloom
Melt like mist and made her gloom
Her sole recreation in that dreadful park
Was to scrub and scratched dust from rock,
For years of infinity
She was blest with malevolent charity
Till Perseus the Demi-god
Beheaded her and ceased her life odd.
