Prometheus Ascending (Victor Frankenstein inspired)

calculations: tribulations

love to divide my time

unknown to the public

fearing cynical clinical trials

 

alchemic breath; the future

I'm chemically castrated

by laws of men and those

with lesser skills demonstrated

 

heaving shovelful overhead

grasping pressed pine hiding my prize

immoral beggar to the dead

continuing to refine secrets of a mind

 

no good deed unpunished

as they continuously pelt me

with sticks and stones

and heretic revelry

 

unknown to them the angelic goal

of taking pieces to make them whole

thoughts and dreams and sewn skin seams

to hold inside his mighty soul

 

in my final moments I did slip

to disrespect this next of kin

for the first words from my lips

I said it instead of him

 

If a man has passed the pearly gates

shown his manner and earned his fate

be it sin or unnatural crime

to pry him back from the other side?

 

cracking skies supplied by Zeus

will further loosen this earthly noose

godly ambitions achieved,

of course, the gods relish my muse

For power over life itself

will have me standing par

with beings crowding clouded skies

fearing man has come so far
