Poem: Pandora’s Paradox

We shout for freedom but cling to our chains
We cry for pleasure, yet will not mourn for joy

Though I climb the highest of mountains,
   I will not see it until I come down

My sins are too great for me,
   my ledger too heavy to hold.
Quaff, Quaff this kind Nepenthe,
   but I'm too timid and too bold.
