DEFEAT ON CRETE

DEFEAT ON CRETE A folktale from which we have been recreated Remember that fight I’m quite sure you hated For this rematch, many centuries I have waited So keen and strong, now I’ve been resuscitated But this time I’ll win, as many anticipated Such an encounter set Greek history ablaze But this second time extends into future days I may even emerge blinking, in the sun’s rays And your dead body left to rot in the maze Then back to Pasiphae, a hybrid family to raise So Theseus, for you I have a surprise in store As you’ll no longer follow that thread, I’m sure This time, it is me reborn, to settle the score From the labyrinth, where we once met before Behold, I’m back, it’s me, the Minotaur!
