Pandora's Comeback

I often cry at night,
as I see the stars twinkle their celestial shine.
It was ironic to catch their splendid ardor,
as the world crumbles in chaos.

Long-fleeting combats of nation to nation,
disputes for supremacy and power ascend.
Worldwide economy starts to falter,
more poor people are left unfed.

The problem has long been in existence,
it swells malignantly, without us--
knowing it.

Among all of these I see Pandora,
and the box that brought the world misery and
plight.
Her curiosity unleashed disaster and catastrophe,
as hope was left for man to cling on.

Pandora's history repeated itself,
leaving us hoping for a better dawn to rise.
But, we still expect something worse,
to occur and materialize again.

She shouldn't have opened that box.
