Pandororos

I stared once at this box

With a golden pink sign

"Femininity" it said

 

And yet the box was black

A sealed and hidden front

Pry it open? T'was quite hard

 

I know that this Pandororos' box

Holds some treasure at the top

I dread however, all the rot below

 

I think often of this box

All the treasure near its top

Creativity, care and justice

 

Pandororos - all the gifts at the top

And I still dread, what hides just below that top

Blood and tears, bits of flesh

All the rot below the top
