Jocasta and Laius of Thebes
left a child with his feet bound
on the side of a mountain.
All of this to avoid
what will come to pass.....
A prophecy made, shall be full filled
Oedipus Rex, of Corinth
Evades the divine prediction
and begins it’s fullfillment
He Kills, several men,
as they fall to his feet, his tragic fall begins
To smart for a sphinx, so they made him a king
and a King must have a queen.......
Oedipus,
looks to his mirror and sees a truely great man
one that would never
kill the king, kill the king
But he didn’t know how to keep his eyes open
Tyreisis and Creon showed him a hint of truth
But how could two blind men ever be so wise
Jocasta stands by his side, and tries to pry open his eyes
Oedipus sees a glimpse of light when a messenger informs him who his relatives are not
The shepard will say who they are. And the lids on his eyes will unfold and to his dismay.......the light of day is so twisted and evil......
Oedipus has cursed his own life
He becomes a blind man who can see
