Pandora

Love is soothingly dangerous.

Oh, the all-gifted,

why did you open,

that jar of darkness?

For you had brought curse,

upon the weak humans.

Diseases, plagues,

overcome as men wised;

gluttony, wrath,

controlled as manner evolved.

Yet you let out one single poison,

the deadliest,

among all deadliness.

It can raise a person,

to the summit of Olympus;

or drag a person,

to the depths of Tartarus.

Poor mankind,

in the mist,

took the venom,

as nectar of life.

Slowly,

slowly,

devoured by the corruption.

This double-edged sword,

has transformed few,

into souls of happiness;

but more,

into vengeful ghosts,

filled with perniciousness.

You should have closed it earlier,

keep it intact inside the jar,

with the evilness called "hope".

Could you see how many of us,

blinded, deafened in misery,

drowned in our own tears,

because you released it?

Because you released love?

Very true! I think about what you wrote and think to myself... What if there weren't these emotions? We would simply not be who we are. I think it's always better to be "YOU" no one else.
Very inspirational and I think you have great potential!
(Please read my story called, The Blonde Girl. I think you would like it a lot.)
Keep up the great work!

Poor Pandora; a twist occurs in the last line with "released love" so you speak up for her, defend this blamed figure, who did love, though she was tempted by the box or too curious to know what was inside the box, was the box not meant to be opened?

Thanks for reading and I really appreciate your review!
Yea, Pandora's curiosity which ultimately led to suffering of humanity was blamed, but at the same time she gave out love and kept hope intact, which should be appreciated! :D
