blaspheme
walk with a dead god, a dead saint
for it certainty causes one to shine
even when the living are damned each
day from heavy thuds of resignation
and another bedtime story comes along,
because fiction and non fiction aren't all that
different when told to those who need some cool aid.
it is either this or be wrestling with
dirt raining down, of cheap glittering prizes
won without so much as an effort,
taken from ships journeyed long
in one opportune of a lifetime
though it should never be carried out even
in whispers, for an acceptable transaction
is one with both parties being aware,
while a dead god is gagged and bounded.
walk with a living god,
the crowd loves it, hungers for that
shine that comes with praising.
and all too soon,
the moment has stretch on to eternity
carved into a stone
the god is neither dead nor living,
he was just another
personal toy.
