The Strait of Messina - To Travel the Path of Life

When travelling upon the Strait of Messina;
Any fool who dare question its tide
Shall be swallowed by its darkened depth
For who should wrought the wrath of Charybdis?

Better to lay upon the path leading
to the heightened climb above
Though filled with dangers of the other 6
When confronted by the mighty Scylla

Engaging the furies that spawned from the depths
of the once calming Strait of Messina
But time has altered its former glory
And no longer does the Golden Age rule

To face Scylla's mighty heads six
and leave to tell the tale
Requires from the man a dosage of faith
and unwavering courage as well

For at the journeys start
And up till the end
A being should never give up
For When torn between Scylla and Charybdis
The only way to go; Up stream
