Cassandra

When Cassandra met Paris she wept,

she raged, she shrieked, she warned.

Cassandra never wept again.

How she hated Helen, the poison that would destroy this city.

Too beautiful to every be happy. 

As the city burned she prayed.

Athena, Athena save us.

As she was raped she stared into Athena's eyes, 

even as the goddess turned away in shame.

What had been her sin?

She had not loved what would destroy her.

Had spit into the face which would kill her family.

Had loved her city more than she would ever love a god.
