Curiosity failed the humans and they created another myth,
Which was just like a news to the whole Athens,
And closed off to the rest of the world35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4NwGudWHU
Which had not written of the Great Minotaur in its books,
And happened to give it a fair chance.
Why half-beast and half-human occurred,35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Pv5DuwhI
Please ask the right question, the Minotaur thought, that could be answered surely.
To himself, in his hybrid language that no one could understand.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptIzUJHgI1
The Minotaur prayed to the gods, but he was smarter than the35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zn2ffvccn
Humans to be godless. That was the only difference between them,
But it didn’t make the difference between what
Happened to them, society and beauty, versus
Ugliness and ravaging. He couldn’t be societal, really,
Because there was none like him.
He was great in intelligence; no, the gods knew only that he
Was the greatest in intelligence, but the humans disrespected him,35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRQHpizgK
A foolish feeling to be felt with strength when the35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL6a3SfySR
Also feared his monstrous fashions.
The most intelligent was the most ugliest,
A poetic question to pose when asked to be born the most beautiful
Or most intelligent, those with heart and mind would choose the35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVmlmdlxkH
Latter easily. However, the gods chose the best for him, it seemed,35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSRY2ASe3T
The intelligence, but beastly and evil passions that roamed
Like animals had befallen him and attached
His miraculous brain to a beastly body always hankering.
This was not the curse of the gods, rather the blessing of the
Gods and horrific misfortune,
But the Minotaur still didn’t believe in the gods, and didn’t
Change what couldn’t be changed.
The gods existed, that was what they built for him inside his35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS8sq4zsba
Brain and everything and what everyone could appreciate
About him, was the Minotaur’s intelligence.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ742RfAxgsG
But it was beyond the god’s powers to bless him with
Winged feet or elegant song because those were
The superficial talents they had been born with
Out of nowhere, to be beautiful, not necessarily intelligent
At all, but also possibly very intelligent, and unfairly
Bestowed with the power of bestowing other’s
Intelligence with random fervor and sudden favor.
It was the hierarchy of the world that was wrong,
The gods with their limited powers and lack
Of control over fortune that was given
To the scientists who didn’t know to redirect their biological
Miracles of alchemy and science, naming them the greats of society,
To correct the beastly misfortune that the Minotaur had fallen to.
Scientists could be greater than the gods, but really not possible.
The gods knew everything, including this,
The humans of any intelligence could not understand
The misfortune of the minotaur, because they didn’t35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSTaZ6r3BV
Care to study it, or know how to correct this misfortune.
It was just to be like this.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdaUgdGw34
