I am Epimetheus, Titan of Hindsight

I now have the knowledge of what the Gods did

To my wife and me, to humanity

They unleashed evil upon the world

But I see that there is still hope

Amidst all the chaos

If only humans

Could find it in

Themselves and

In their

World

Author’s Note: For those who don’t know, in Greek mythology Epimetheus was the husband of Pandora. Here’s a link to more information if you want to learn about him.
