Dear Rhea,
Many praise you for what you've done
you betrayed your family by hiding your son,
condemning them all
now your children hold power
and your siblings are gone
you razed Othrys to the ground
and raised Olympus in its place
incredible as it is,
there is one thing I would like to ask, dear Rhea:
was it worth it?
your brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews
injured
imprisoned
cursed
humilliated
punished
slaughtered
do you remember it, do you feel remorse
do you regret it or rejoice
I would like to ask, dear Rhea, was it worth it?
are you pleased now that they're gone
and happy with what your children've become
you replaced one tyrant with another
you turned from queen to pawn
merely an almost forgotten whisper
dear Rhea, after all that you lost, would you do it again?
dear Rhea, was it worth it?
sincerely,
-maybe Kronos wasn't the real villain in this story
