The Prometheus Within
Anisha Kaul
The supreme benefactor
Warmly revoked to mind
Charged with theft of the Olympic fire
Met vengeance on the Caucasus range
For supper, unwanted guests he hosted
Until mighty Heracles came to his release
A spark of the heavenly flame
Prometheus secretly withheld
The same sustained him each passing day
While his perpetrator awaited eternal revenge
Of him Aeschylus sang
Of him Mary and Percy sang
