Pandora

Zeus had put the app on her phone

Yet told her not to open it

She wanted to listen 

But her curiosity was now lit 

She stared wondering if she should do it 

 

To open the app that was forbidden

Details unbidden

Origin hidden 

 

Her chest ached with need

Something that could be easily sated 

But was already dictated

 

One time, just a peek

She thought, her moral weak

About to get what she seeked

 

One click

A black screen

The lights flicker 

She hears a scream

Power was gone 

Technology won't work

What had she done

Chaos has now begun
