👹HADES💀

“Get in line now, don’t dawdle!” 
Comes the serious sounding voice
It’s the god of the underworld making sure
The spirits don’t make any noise

Hades the god of the underworld
Likes his land to be quiet and dark
Cerebrus, his three-headed dog agrees
With three separate growls and one bark

Hades which means “the unseen one”
Has a power no other god shares
His Helmet of Darkness makes him invisible
He can pounce on anyone anywhere

Prayers and sacrifices do very little
This mighty god is not swayed
If someone enters the spirit world
Then that is where they will stay

The bad spirits are punished by him
They carry big stones on their heads
The good ones get to swim in the Styx
And float back into comfy beds

Hades loves just one person most
Persephone his wife
He kidnapped her while she picked flowers
And now lives by his side

You can sometimes hear the rustle
Of Hades and his three-headed dog
Roaming around on a still night
When darkness cloaks the world.
