Man vs. Gods

man vs. gods

colossal conflict begins
the war has been breached
humans, the down-trotten
all mighty power unleashed
A windstorm of death
blows across the land
lifeless bodies abandoned
in the hot arid sand
men die, in revolt
gods laugh
at crossbow & bolt
more men join the armies
more die in the fight
deities turn sadistic
heretics impaled on sight
earthquake & tsunami
tornado & flood
mountains start to topple
as the fields turn to mud
world at war
the conflict grows
human population
at all time lows
instinct to survive
forced underground
without their believers
no gods can be crowned
years without worship
legend turns to myth
vanity has no sustenance
ideals begin to drift
starving and pathetic
man turns toward the sun
greeted by a lone demi-god
a bold new era has begun
a co-existence is needed
co-dependency is the prize
with the promise of peace
new temples soon rise
