Deities

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 21, 2021 

Deities.
Attempts
to understand,
make
sense.
Sense of
things,
existence.
What
can’t be
understood.
Attributed.
Deities define.
Deities control.
Deities explain.
Constructs of
limitations.
Deities,
serving
a purpose.
Failure
to know,
comprehend.
Big place
the infinite.
Beyond
capability.
Impossible
to grasp.
Deities
bring order,
light
to the
darkness.
Scaffolding
to hold,
build upon.
Stabilizers.
Easing
fears,
concerns.
Deities,
human
designed.
Created
to 
ease the
pain of
existence.
