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