On Behalf Of Hercules

Lion, lion,

Where are you?

Will you come

out of the blue?

If I kill you,

would this mean

I’m a monster, too

within?

Was your figure

in written formed

just for secrets

to be unexposed?

I am ready

to confront

all the symbols

you enclose.

You exist

for me to see

that my fear

is unreal.

You appear

for me to know

how much

I can “grow”.

When a fear

I project,

there you are

with teeth prepared.

I’m not here

to be eaten,

unless by terror

I’ll be bitten.

Oh, you,

big and wild cat,

you’re a kind of

mind trap!

When I overcome

illusion,

there’s evaporation

of confusion.

The 1st labour

is in progress,

and I work on

my inner process.

Yes, I get the message

now,

and I’ll defeat myself

somehow.

So, go back

to jungle-kingdom.

I’m Hercules.

I found freedom.
