C is for Chorus
We bend our knee to no one;
No one surrenders to us
Human players are tragic:
Even in our comedies, vicious
We bend our knee to no one;
No one surrenders to us
What we see can blind, but
Unlike Oedipus can’t self-maim
We bend our knee to no one;
No one surrenders to us
Our role is comment for you
Who attend our seeing-place
We bend our knee to no one;
No one surrenders to us
Like Antigone, we’re horrified
In forsaking our heroic dead
We bend our knee to no one;
No one surrenders to us
Cynics abandon Parnassus;
We will stay, the human voice
We bend our knee to no one;
No one surrenders to us

Love the rhythm, the rhyme and the refrain you have written in this deeply thought-provoking poem.

I really enjoyed this poem Christopher, especially because it has values that Antigone carries with her that have been lost within our “Political correctness”

Yes, I admire Antigone. She is relentlessly brave. I’m thankful, Dajena, that (regardless of “PC”) we respect her strength and courage and her cause.
