Then the Gods Laughed
Then the gods Laughed I took a tour around and inside, a museum and saw memorabilia of times past; Displayed in many forms and shelved, But under a common name identified; Underneath them all written, I read: “gods of past civilizations.” After visiting a myriad of such labeled beings, I asked: “Where are the spots prepared? for the gods of today to be shelved?” Only then I heard loud laughter explode, And turned to see it coming from each godhead: Baal, Zeus, Horus, mythra and their entire league, All labeled “past gods” saying in a rhythmic chorus: “ Same is today as with us it had been, No soul in our times thought we could wear out and p ass, With the millennia and minds that fashioned us .” ------------------------- (PTS, 2009)
