Prometheus Was My Father

Godly whims of boys and men,
Where girls and women come again,
And moon sits proud in the sky,
Where the fucking stars know all lies.
Here to them, like foe and friend,
Where flowers sing, and bloom like the dead,
And Christ is playing silly games,
While Apollo smokes crack and laughs all day.

Oh, these midnight reveries,
Come please follow me,
Until all hear the sorrow,
Of a woman singing songs.

Sad white walls with ears like sin,
Vishnu is sad, Ra ate all his kin,
Today I will kill a bird with a heart,
And the night will die for love of art.
Mean while Mars is counting cards,
And Cerberus is out chasing human cars,
And the Lamb of God is skipping, such fun,
While Demeter is out shooting heroin.

So kill your mind and then you'll find,
That through insane you'll find divine,
Until all see the bliss,
Of a man playing music.

Man of mud and women of rib,
At the racks Allah places a bid,
Soon funny Oni will fly in the sky,
With Happy old Ziz up so high.
While Kappa swim with Leviathan ocean deep,
And Salamander on ground with Behemoth shall creep,
And Jesus shoots marbles enjoying himself,
While Buddha smokes pot and reaches for the cookies on the shelf.

The tide has come in, and the sky is blue,
But the turtles see all, and maybe they knew,
Until all speak the anger,
Of a beast writing verse.

I am the child of Prometheus.

    people need a deity to believe in, for decades already, i liked the way you pulled the gods off their thrones and show them to be quite human with human traits, well done, thank you for entering

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is about the human condition. more than that? all religions are basically the same, beneath [or above] the surface. I could be totally over-analysing this, but... what with the last line and all... mankind has returned to the gods what we stole from them? [only this time it's fire in the form of sex, drugs, & rock and roll.-
