ELECTRA!

ELECTRA[Based on the Greek myth as told by the ancient playwrights Aeschylus and Euripides Electra ! Where have you been. The air fills with the stench Of blood And Hate. Why do you seek the shadows And Shun the light. Why do you chase the darkness of  the night.   Electra !‘What have you done. Avenging a father’s death by spilling a mother’s blood. Her  fate Was sealed so long ago By the Powers that be. Didn’t you know. Didn’t you see,.Mother and daughter are Now as one. Roaming shadows In the bowels of Hell Singly and alone. No hope of redemption. No chance of salvation. But lonely shadows In an empty eternity. Electra ! What have you done. My love. My life. My ecstasy.
