Cassandra Poem by Ima Ryma

Cassandra



Cassandra, a princess of Troy,
Had divine gift of prophecy.
In the future she saw no joy.
The Greeks would come in victory.
But when Cassandra tried to warn
Her royal family of this threat,
They with all the Trojans did scorn
Her as a foolish girl beset
With attempting to put on airs
Of being better since she had
Chased god Apollo in affairs.
Troy in defeat - she must be mad!

Cassandra was correct of course.
Greeks attacked from the Trojan Horse.
