In More Archaic Times

In more archaic times, Full of fiction and philosophers, The people would have Believed Poseidon opened his angry mouth and sucked in the tide To reveal The naked, secret, bottom of the ocean Giving a horrible vision of his Vindictive Wrath Just before he released his destruction upon the wicked and innocent. And it made sense to those left living. Their gods were malleable, mercurial, mystical. In more sophisticated times, Full of morality and religion, The people celebrate the Immaculate conception and birth of the savior of man. Meanwhile The tide sucked into the bowels of the deep, The bottom of the secret blue was revealed for an instant Before murder was released upon the wicked and innocent. And it makes sense to those left living. Our God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omni-benevolent.
