Humanity in the Face of GodsA Poem by Aram AlexanderI am a human in a world full of fake gods. A mere mortal, such a sinner. Flawed, lost, confused. Adrift on an ocean of emotions, My heart is my life-raft Yet it is full of holes. Sorrow. Love. Regret. Joy. Pain. Wonder. Uncertainty. Hope. I drown in these feelings Yet I feel so alive. I want to ask them, The plastic gods in my sky, "how can you live like today is your last if you have always existed and know no end?" So tonight I shed a tear for these gods that know nothing about the life that they create, And the feelings they cannot feel.
