Sisyphus's Rock

December 19, 2012
By Anonymous

For countless ages I've been pushed uphill—


A futile effort; I, the rock will fall.




The way back down I'll roll, at Hades’ will.


This man shall push me; t'is the given gall



Because this king deceived a god; a ruse



He pulled by which he bypassed death. The fool


Like slaves does work; he moans and grunts. To muse,
Regret, and push the spiteful rock he will



Forever, up this hill of rancor; to no use.



This mountain ragged is, against my skin



It rubs, but I the job must. Maybe break the shin.
