I find it peculiar
A myth familiar
Seen in present days
A man’s impudent ways
He took a peek
From Pandora, a Greek
And opened the box, it
Let out the toxic
Speeches and rules
Put fear in schools
In our homes and streets.

Cheryl, I like how you use Pandora’s box to show how hurtful words and fear can spread today, making an old myth feel important in the modern world.

I think Pandora had to take the blame for men. But lots of that toxic stuff floating around!

I relate this to today’s political scene and what Mr. Trump has done.” opened the box, itLet out the toxicSpeeches and rulesPut fear in schoolsIn our homes and streets.”
My take is he opened a toxic box….the reacism and hatred that before him, was more hidden and controlled by laws. Today, as is exemplary of the Callais/Louisiana rulling, we’ve lost so much.
