Atlas II

Atlas II

You shrug for Man
not for the Olympian clan

Once great Titan of the Titanomachy
your fall from greatness
worse than all the Titans

Your crushed by the weight
of those you hate
You must protect the great desease
while your bent at the knees

Your destiny, your bain
shall drive you insane
The stinging pang for how far you have fallen
to become the new cellestial column

no circumvention from Zeus's invention
You were tricked by the Lion's Skin
to hold it again

you are thankful for the Medusa's curse
Turned to stone
For Athena knew nothing worse
than holding Earth all alone

Forever in stone you wait
For your ever distant fate

Atlas,you will shrug
Till the end of time
