Explanation: Bifrost: the rainbow bridge used by gods to travel between Asgard (heaven)
And Midgard (earth) – Scandinavian folklore
If I was a goddess or better yet a god
I would get on the bifrost and be calm.
I would try not to gloat at the mortals so odd,
Singing a little ditty, hymn, or song
I would hear their keen mortal prayers flying by
So I would sing louder in a drowning out way
I would intentionally not notice the ones who cry
Focusing on other gods on the Bifrost today
Puffed up, knowing we are all the best of the best
These mortals would not steal our thunder,
Walking proudly and glorified, two or three gods abreast,
We would barely think of those left down under.
