What Zeus had kept inside the box
broke loose from their confinement
All that was foul was now unleashed upon the world
Pandora, unable to undo what she had done
Fell into despair
As she grieved, she heard a feeble quiver from the box
She lifted the lid once more
and out fluttered a small, bright
most beautiful creature she had ever seen
It flapped its delicate wings
as it danced around Pandora
lightly brushing against hеr shoulder
Pandora immediately fеlt her angst
melt away and her heart glow with warmth
It was hope that was kept
in the innermost nook of the box
It trailed behind the miasma of darkness
Assuaging their ill-effects on humankind
Hope gave people the will to carry on
living amidst the pain and strife
