Icarus’ Regret

“Icarus! Icarus! Listen to me!”

But the plea goes unheard, its passion in vain

Rebellion is the message of the young

Icarus its latest envoy

The laws of the gods remain unbroken

As Icarus passes the shadow of the sun

His wax dissolved, and with it his pride

Melting into an ocean of Regret

“Save me!” he shouts to all who might hear

But where is the world?

Their thoughts on their work, no time to be lost

On the soul of the innovator

So in Regret Icarus mourns

As he surely will drown

The lifeboat of Pardon

Nowhere to be found
