The Wings Of Destiny

Daedalus, the greatest Athenian inventor of all time 

Imprisoned in his own invention the labyrinth with his son;

He plans of yet another invention, the metal wings for his mighty escape

He doesn't have enough time so he makes it in a haste;

He uses wax for bonding the feathers and warns his son

You should fly at a medium height otherwise

You will become the prey to the fates;

Just then arrived the cruel king with his guards 

But the inventor and his son flew out of the gates;

As they flew above the sea the son became overjoyed

And paid no heed to his father's warning and went too high;

The heat from the sun melted the wax and down fell Icarus 

Daedalus saw his son drown in the sea but he was helpless;

He remembered his nephew Talos whom he threw from his tower

Guilty he was in murder and this was his punishment ; 

No matter how mighty a person is, he cannot escape his fate

The fates have haunted even the greatest of the great.........
