Zeus Lied

      How cruel the race of man is. What great promise was lost.
      There is a certainty in the modern age that threatens every
      living thing. Christ followers lust for power obscured by their
      distain for injustice. Where is the justice in genocide?

      How mean are hates fostered falsely to make a hell on earth
      for heavenly rewards. The old eye of that does not falter burns
      at our core. O Athena cut out our hearts!

      Zeus you Lied! The Gods were not destroyed by man. Man is
      nothing without the Gods. Rome prayed for a Caesar and
      murdered him. All is vanity and man has no advantage over
      the beast.

      The old persuade themselves the flame of civilation goes on.
      They look to the Gods for transcendent truth. While tribal drums
      beat on fighting ground. O empty plain of youth most precious
      blood!

      The earth must turn. The sky and sea are constant. Wisdom
      is spent on the glittering helmet of battle worn heroes.
      The Gods wait and will prevail after all the works of man are
      dust. Frail and fine; perhaps one strip of grass and glade will
      flower where Titans fought.

                        recieve evil?"(Job 2:10)
