Charlie Croft
Unbeknown to the Gods,
a gift given from above.
To control scorching flames,
saved a child from monsters of the night.
Prometheus was punished,
fire was not meant for them.
He was bound,
given everlasting suffering.
Once again, the Titan came down,
having escaped his eternal binds.
The world was a different place,
another gift was needed.
New monsters had appeared;
concrete, steel and smoke.
Painting luminous stars, planets, galaxies
on her ceiling, saved a child from monsters of the night.
