All Men Shall Face Their Gods


Spread out the mountains
  and stop the river's flow
  to change a world from evil
to monuments of good.

Open wide the heavens
  and rain down the stars;
pattern out the kingdoms
  who wage out the wars;
flood the gates with hunger
  to create a need for hope
  for in the depth of raging water
  each man shall seek his god.

And perhaps the god will not be
  who we thought all along,
instead being an ocean wave
    that threatens us to drown,
or perhaps a serpent of the sea
  simply seeking men for food,
waiting for the weakness
  in human's aching bones.

So spread out the mountains
  and let all flesh truly fail
to teach men of weakness
  and let them face the gods
  who will be their final trial.

Author notes


Eventually, we'll have to face up to it.
