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 pass,
With the millennia and minds that fashioned us.”
