Lesser Gods

Lesser gods, dressed in mortal boxes, have the power to build a utopia. Their choices, have built a hell, instead. Human error; ego-driven, horse powered engines. slaughter civilizations; now the universe. Lesser gods, don’t think; they just do. Lesser gods, grand creations, that they seem; fail their source and themselves. Consequence is an all too alien concept, that they choose to ignore. Godlike perfection, is their delusion.

Man gives power of imagination to lifeless gods, all the while not recognizing the God who wishes to reside within their heart.
