Unjust
Unjust
Long ago we discovered
Morality was no God’s strong suit
The Sea God was no exception
For when he laid eyes on the virgin priestess
Consent was all but a silly notion
So there right in the temple he had his way
Apparently deaf to her wails and pleas
Her dedication to her Goddess
Much more potent than any lust
Consequences came to be plenty
For when the deity of wisdom found out
She was all but for forgiveness
The naive girl tried to clear her name
But a mortal’s word is nothing to a God’s
So a curse was bore, unjust we must add
Under the falseful claim it was presented
No longer would she would be tempted to disgrace again
For when a man looked her in the eye
They would cease to become anything more than a statue
For millennia now the story has been repeated
Yet the crucial detail of her innocence never made the page
So her reputation continues to live on in ruins
How tragic the ending was
The ancient tale of the Gorgon Queen

I wrote this piece while in english class today and my inspiration came from my head bust lamp of Medusa that I had recently purchased!
