gods

The gods are selfish, he declared.

and I understood.

you can try so very hard

to appease them

but who knows when they are

satisfied?

They wreck fire and burning sulphur

their wrath shakes the earth

their wars destroys the universe

who can stand against them?

we have no power, no will, no right.

Some did try

They failed;

but we must applaud them.

for unlike other frightened mortals,

They did what They could.

Perhaps some

have succeeded.

But they passed away

remembered no more by Time.

And the gods live on

Creating and wrecking.

The gods are selfish

and we are nothing.

haha...got inspired by what Luke said in the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It sounds lame though. What you think?
