And so a child thinks he can coax his father
To allow him to show off for a friend.
Not knowing your father is hard:
Not knowing him but knowing he's a god is worse.
What harm is there?
Surely a god would his bastard son
Drive the chariot of the sun
To prove that his godly father cared more
Than Zeus cared of his son, the boy's friend.
Alas, he could not hold the horses.
People seared as the sun drove down to Earth.
The waters and lands to the North and South
Froze,
For Phaethon's ride neglected them.
Apollo watched his son be shot down.
How hard it is to be a god:
Or the son of.
