The Gods!

“High on morality
Drunk, lost gods
Carrying lights of virtue
Adrift beyond high ground
Soon drowned in the sea
Of fabrication
Of their own
Immoral as it was
And evil as it turned out
Leaving behind
Startled gods
Screaming for salvation
That remained a dream
Buried beneath
As worse as a curse
Of immortality,
Now they loath the days
Carrying a fake smile
And weep silently through the night
While struggling to keep their sacred wounds ajar
Awaiting forgiveness of darkness
Before their own morality forsakes them
Alas!
They turned out more mortal
Than they ever realized
Yet, Death remained a far cry
And no one to listen to
Their prayers, screams
Echoes of which
Continues to haunt them
Beyond the grey horizon
Of eternity…”
