The One God
But why just one god?
the race is on
to become a god
the one who is everywhere
the one who can see and hear
every doing and every saying
every beginning and every ending
but why just one god
haven’t there been many gods
were we not the ones who
created them and believed them
feared them and followed them
loved them and ignored them
kept them alive
and then forgotten them
a god of war who was born of lust
a god of money who got banished
a god so virtuous that he doubted his wife
and a god of death whom everyone feared
a goddess of knowledge holding a book
a goddess of wealth fulfilling everyone’s wishes
a goddess in river to wash away the sins
and a goddess of birth from whom the life begins
earth being the goddess
and sky the god
thundering across the clouds
ever lived the mighty god
who got arrogant and lost his rod
