Pandora
and now they're out
for good
released and at large
not going back underground
not leaving either
red-hot and self-sustained
levers and engines
generic condemnations
personal sacrifices
signatures and ratifications
won't slow the winds
calm the seas
all that's left with us
is false
and blind
tucking us in
with a reassuring smile
while what we need is courage
