Ok settle down Kids, you want a story?
Fuck Yeah Ariana Watch your mouth, I’m sorry
Let’s see ummmm…let’s go Demeter
Whos’s that? Well let me settle down and teach ya
Once upon in ancient Greece was a god
Called Demeter with a daughter called Persephone she lost
You mean she lost a daughter? Like Kate McCann?
Yeah baby just like Kate, Listen to your dad
That one day Demeter sent her daughter out to fetch a
Couple flowers from the plains of Enna, and terror
Erupted out her soul when Hades came from hell to tell her
I want to make Persephone my wife now go and get her
And quicker than a second he had opened up the ground
Swallowed up wee poor Persephone and took her to the town
Of the dead and not a sound did Demeter hear around
When she went to fetch her daughter she was nowhere to be found
Dad is this a tragedy?
Well yeah….I mean no….not exactly
But Demeter got sad when she couldn’t find her daughter
Then her heart broke to pieces, tears flowing out like water
She was screaming to the wind, every day she spent in squalor
And she travelled round the land getting in and out of bother
Till exhausted she collapsed with her body out of order
But she never knew that zeus the most almighty god had saw her
And what did he say? He told Demeter
Hades took your daughter to the underworlds, eager
To escape in hell she teeters, Hades wants her as a leader
Now she’s gone and never coming back, best for you to leave her
But she couldn’t, and then she went in a huff
She was the god of agriculture, Farms and stuff
She was making flowers grow and could speak to the trees
She had to grow all the vegetables so people could eat
But when she heard Persephone was now imprisoned she cried
and sent snow, gale and ice from the heavenly skies
And promised torture on the humans till they couldn’t survive
Freezing all the vegetation till it withered and died
And that’s why we have winter? According to greeks
Bitter winds, Bitter hearts, cold as Hades deceit
But Zeus saw the greeks dying from starvation eased
His son Hercules to rescue wee Persephone Neat!
So….did he get her?....Well Kinda
He looked around….couldnt find her
And then he did, he battled and won
And Hades had to give Persephone right back to her mum
But cunning plans soon developed and she swallowed his seeds
Swallowed…Fuck, I mean literally she swallowed some seeds
And that would mean she stayed connected to his horrible deeds
For four months of the year she could not be released
And see, that time when Demeter is alone
Her heart freezes over, ice crusting over bones
And she punishes the earth for losing everything she owned
Till Persephone returns and the winter is no more
Cause when she’s with her daughter, the flowers had grew
Food comes for the people and skies return blue
Warm weather then accrues when she’s happy and soothed
Then she would gladly use her powers to make life better too
But! Every year, when she’s not up here
Demeter curses humans with a winter and it’s fierce
Cold as she can make it as a symbol of her fears
She would even hurt herself such the anger that she veers

The end, but there’s a lesson in this brown book
About what? I guess everything about you
Life is full of grief, hurt, pain and even doubts too
The way that you react touches everything around you
Your life’s nothing but mind state besides
So a negative mind equals negative life
Even when Demter knew her pain was only for time
She allowed herself to live inside a hell she designed
So lesson is, try to be bigger
Don’t fret the issues that you have, be slicker
And never punish yourself because you feel darker
Know that nothing matters in time and only time matters

So embrace it, Goodnight baby
