I am Zeus !

A poem about the power of love

I am Zeus God of gods, 
the omnipotent one!
All immortal and mere mortal
bow in reverence,
to my almighty power, awesome!

I could make you a king, 
ruler, over land and sea, 
or I could take it all away again, 
just as easily!

I can crush a mountain, 
just as you a fly, 
or send a multitude of shooting stars, 
across the midnight sky! 

If my desire a princess royal 
would relinquish, 
a much coveted, cherished, chastity
There really is no limit,
to my ability!

But you tiny, insignificant, mortal man 
I am envious of thee
as what you know, I know not off 
and it burdens me!

Why doth the lady's cheeks glow red,
when you pass each other by?
Or when you gently clasp her hand, 
why that sparkle in her eye?

If this is what you know as Love
then I must decree!
It has more power than I above,
for it is unconditional 
and esteemed by parity!

Tom,

You have set to pen of page a most enthralling philosophical piece of excellent Poetry that does well to stir the imagination nation within the mind of that men are taught as conditioned and programed mentally to perceive is to believe as truths that are lies of Religion's Bullshit that ain't diddly s**t, but lies, lies, lies, and more lies upon lies to fool guys like you and I, in teaching us of an alleged God which the The Church & her whorish Protest-ant daughters proclaim as Love, but knows nothing of Love, else He as a dumbass s**t would not have violated said as alleged Virgin Mary, the betrothed wife of another man forced into the position of raising another's child, whilst being more loving and merciful than is such a proclaimed God, himself, so as to NOT claim his Israelite Torah written and said right to have his violated and ravished betrothed wife stoned to death, but, instead, to determine to love her, anyway of anyhow, for of us less than God-like ways as a man who obviously was more right of rightly Godly and Righteous than was/is that alleged and speculated as proclaimed in the name of Bullshit God, Himself ...

I loved this wonderfully honest and sincerely written piece of Poetry ...

Very well done!

I particularly like,
