[hometext] => A poem about a mythical struggle between the gods, applied to our modern society.
[bodytext] => Who are we to make decrees
To angels or the sand? Who are we to claim dominion Over all the land? Our culture boasts a lot of things On right and wrong and liberty, But sin and greed fill all I see, So prove that God is here. An existentialist at heart Grew up to make fine works of art And in his lifetime made a fortune Sans the art of prayer. So born to be and born to die We all are sad and simplified Versions of the men we hide With stories of our worth. Some chemicals once came about That suddenly could figure out Just how to make themselves abound And so they multiplied. “Jesus wept.” The bible said. The bible knows that God is dead, For hell and Gaea have been wed And now the kudzu chokes. So Armageddon has begun. This is the Gotterdammerung. The lynch mobs have the angels hung For five dollars a head. And laws now say that you can kill If you have boredom and the will To flay the demons that are still Worshipping your God. So back to dust and horses too. One third of us are painted blue And yellow skies will bear a new Breed of humanity. This is the end of all I hate. No longer must I sit and wait. The air has lost the putrid taint Of greed. Of humanity.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
