Hour Eight-  GIGAN       How We Got Here                  Mary Pecaut

After Ruth Ellen Kocher

 

you imagine you are god – a god like no other

like Zeus, the ruler, protector of all gods and humans

 

you imagine you are here to help gods, goddesses and mortals

-unless they are not worthy of your help –

giving rights and privileges in exchange for allegiance

 

your weakness for women should have been your downfall

repeat cheat in a world without morals

 

as though we cannot see you 

shape shift, lie and deceive

 

a tame white bull in Europa’s father’s herd you 

rape, for you imagine you are god

 

your weakness for women should have made you fall down

down down to the underworld

apprentice to Hades

 

godly power can be misused

ask anyone seduced by Zeus
