Prometheus’ Gift

Prometheus’ gift –

Was it blessing or curse?

Our homes to warm –

Or destroy.

 

Our meals to prepare –

Or unleashed to scare –

Our very beings with its –

Vengeful fury.

 

Be it a Pudding Lane Bakers-

Who charred London by acres –

Or O’Leary’s cow with –

Chicago’s most unfortunate kick.

 

The fires kept coming –

And even now with new plumbing –

We’re still not fully in control –

Of  Prometheus’ tricks.
