As you read, make note of which words are capitalized:
Pandora
One for Hatred
Two for Fear
Three for the Loss
Of a loved one dear
Four brings Greed
Five brings Lust
Six, an utter
Lack of trust
Seven is Sorrow
Eight is Pain
Nine is Anger
Ten is Blame
Eleven: Hunger
Twelve: Disease
Thirteen marks:
The Taxman's Fees
A Chinese curse
Should life prove a bore
Live in interesting times
Fourteen is War
Number Fifteen
My final breath
In life's uncertainty
Is certain Death
A tiny thing
I've left for last
Sixteen gifts Hope
To help us past

I was having trouble thiking of bad things to include in the poem, I had the first stanza, and I had the end figured out (taxes, and the four horsemen), but I got a little bit stuck there in the middle...Guess my life's too happy...(insert reference to "Kino's Journey"), Hence the title of the post...
If you've seen it, you'll get it, if not, then you should watch it.
Gaahhh!!! I'm running out of sign out lines! please submit,

Well it's a mixture, the curse is "live in interesting times" which pretty much means "I hope you get caught in a war"
But yes pandora is greek mythology.
