Gods

A Poem by John Prophet

Gods.
God
is a
concept.
A concept
humanity
holds tight.
A concept
used to
deal
with the
unexplainable.
The unknown.
Over 
millennia
gods
have come
and gone.
Generations
lived
believing
in gods
who no
longer
hold sway.
Over time,
hundreds
of gods
have been
prayed to.
Have
inhabited
high places.
Held high
in the
minds
of mankind.
Temples
built then
crumbled.
God’s
who’ve
long faded
from human
consciousness.
Billions
of years
universal
existence.
How many
gods
existed
before
humanity
arrived?
What is,
beyond
human
cognition.
