Gods, I’ve been forsaken! I – formerly blessed by the sun – Cry out to you, you who leave My words unheard. Once a daughter to kings, I wait Inside an indiscernible prison For the fall of my beloved city. I predicted this, my people, but I cannot blame you, my people I spurned the sun, burned my fate And now no one will heed me. They tell me I am beautiful, I am brilliant, I am insane. They tell me To leave the future to kings. I spoke to you, my people The contents of the horse I spoke to you, my people When we shall catch our demise With axe and fire, I rush, Only to face the barrage of disbelief I hear them laughing, my people Those who will carve their place Where you once stood But you will not listen.
Based on Greek myth of Kassandra, a Trojan princess cursed by Apollo to speak prophecies but never be believed.
