An Ode to Pandora

Many a human has cursed her name

And for her wrongs, given her fame

The horrors spread, far and wide

Circling the Earth, a fearsome tide

The world's now full of hate and neglect

And I thank Pandora for a world to perfect

A challenge, a goal, for us to achieve

A perfect utopia I would grieve

With absence of bane, there is a void

That can't be filled with things enjoyed

All to lose, and nothing to gain

There is no pleasure in a place without pain

So I thank Pandora we haven't this fate

And I keep with me hope, behind locked gate
