Humanity’s Gods

Humanity’s Gods

A Poem by John Prophet

Humanity’s
gods.
What
did
they do?
Do
before
mankind’s
arrival?
Where have
they been?
Creation,
billions
of years
in the
making.
Modern
man
one hundred
fifty thousand
years  in
existences.
For billions
of years
no mankind
for worshiping.
Gods in
ethereal
status.
Humanity
arrives
drawing them
out, up.
Over
time,
hundreds of
gods came
and went.
What
created man?
What
created
gods?
Humanity’s
gods
meeting
a need.
Explaining
the unexplainable.
Imagination
derived.
Soothing
the soul.
Easing
the way.
Infinity’s
enigma!
A way
to cope.

A way to cope, indeed. There are people living now who will kill you for the sake of their particular god, who happens to be the only one.
