Unjust

Long ago we discovered

Morality was no God’s strong suit 

The Sea God was no exception

For when he laid eyes on the virgin priestess

Consent was all but a silly notion 

So there right in the temple he had his way

Apparently deaf to her wails and pleas

Her dedication to her Goddess

Much more potent than any lust

Consequences came to be plenty

For when the deity of wisdom found out

She was all but for forgiveness 

The naive girl tried to clear her name

But a mortal’s word is nothing to a God’s

So a curse was bore, unjust we must add

Under the falseful claim it was presented 

No longer would she would be tempted to disgrace again

For when a man looked her in the eye

They would cease to become anything more than a statue

For millennia now the story has been repeated

Yet the crucial detail of her innocence never made the page

So her reputation continues to live on in ruins

How tragic the ending was 

The ancient tale of the Gorgon Queen
