God Is Dead

God is Dead? Hubris, man's nature A God, self-proclaimed Nietzsche opined he's dead Conceit, we laugh and say, no way Self-professed with special attributes Sympathy, love, reciprocity; how divine Exalting our human virtue So convenient; unfortunately, so blind We sublimate our consciousness Valiantly creating a magnificent reality The audacity Willfully blind; to only see what we believe If we were to open up our eyes - our mind Acquiesce to the grandness, the complexity of it all Humble Perhaps we thrive before we fall? Hubris, mankind's nature In his image, we reflect piously Nietzsche opined he's dead - and we have killed him The narratives not about God - its about you and me
