Burning Wings

Filled with joy and arrogance,

He flew too close to sun.

In battle against gravity,

Icarus had won.

...

But as wax and feathers dropped,

Icarus did fall.

Down from sky and down to earth,

To Hades's grim hall.

...

Was this the price for arrogance,

To let gravity win?

Or was it for another crime,

For Daedalus's sin?

...

Both Talos and Icarus,

Had died on fall to ground.

A message from the gods to Man,

That all crimes come around.
