Sirens Song

Sirens song.
Fleeting.
Power.
Flush of
power
so very
fleeing.
Brass ring
too hot
to hold.
Intoxicating.
Euphoric.
Fleeting.
Grasping,
holding on.
Soul crushing
impossibility.
Lusting for
the quest.
Ends
justify the
means.
Here today
gone
tomorrow.
Eventually
dies.
Damage,
carnage,
all
for a
moment.
Everlasting
carnage
for a
moment
of power.
Frailty.
Human
frailty,
seduced.
Sirens sound
impossible to
ignore.
Human will,
unfit
for the
task.

I read this title and had to peruse these words. I been working on a piece for the last 4 months off and on called Calypso. Unsure if I'll be submitting it anytime soon. It keeps evolving. After reading this magnificent poem I have a lot of work to do. Great job JP.
