I am Prometheus

Adorned with tongues of eternal flame

God of Fire is my venerable name

I am fire that cannot be tamed

I am the light and warmth revered

I am the wrath and destruction feared

I am a Champion lauded and cheered

I gave my fiery essence to humankind

Defying the gods and chains that bind

To eternal torment I was confined

Eagles plucked my heart from my chest

Made my grave into their nest

To spend eternity in pain and unrest

I am Prometheus, dead ere my prime

My legend has endured throughout time

Written in myth, stories and elegant rhyme

Max O’Reilly
