Gods

by Henry Burt Stevens
www.authorsden.com
7/27/2005

so many gods
all giving directions
seeking tribute worship

revenge is mine
each extracting
toll as faithful

throw virgins from
cliffs or bomb the
hell out of sand

creating lifetime
hell for soldiers
civilians the

lucky ones die
at the point of
impact to gain

their particular
reward for their
faith in their god

wholly imaginary
but life's meaning
and reason for war.

Powerful words, and timeless, too--just as meaningful centuries ago as they are today.

Reviewed by Sandie Angel 7/31/2005
The main reasons that makes the difference in the human kind is the types of Gods they worship. If only the human kinds understand the meaning of their Gods and the message of good wills that they deliver.

A good thought-provoking piece, Henry!
