Prometheus
Power!
He grasped it with both hands,
Ignoring the hungry-orange licks
as it ate him alive
Who knew power could be forged
from wood and bone,
flint and stone
His harvest from the Heavens
Power made flesh,
his flickering gold-teeth crown
Prometheus brought Fire to Sapiens,
He made Kings out of Men
“Prometheus” is the first poem I ever wrote. I was inspired by the hit book, Sapiens, of which I was reading at the time.
