Pandora's World
​
by Alex Price
Sometimes I wonder about Pandora
and what she felt
opening her box of evils
​
Watching the world suffer from
Death, disease, famine
Despair, hatred, cruelty
​
Is she mournful?
Regretful, even
maybe depressed?
​
Doomed to suffer the same fate
as those she sentenced
it seems
​
There is no going back though
Her world is suffering
Maybe we can take solace
in that we are all in this
together
​
They have sprung forth from Pandora's Box
and now we are bound to Pandora's World
​
But as the story goes
hope never left the box
I wonder why
​
Maybe it was too frightened
after all
it has spent the longest
with the evils we now face
​
So I say
It's alright, little hope
You can come out now
​
We will hold you close
cherish you
protect you
love you
​
And like we always have
we will brave the calamities
of Pandora's cruel world
together
