Theseus And The Minotaur (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

He did hunt everything that does exist
and also he searched for the mystic bull that walks on two paws
which claimed human sacrifices from its followers,
wanted to destroy that beast for once and all,
wanted to get to him in the labyrinth of Minos
but he was scared and had to steel his nerves
while he rolled off Ariadne's rope to come out again
where carefully he went into the labyrinth
and to die was a huge probability
when suddenly he noticed the sleeping cruel beast
did free the young people who in his eyes did deserve freedom
and they cried from happiness and their hearts was full of hope
while they followed Theseus out of the labyrinth.
