It All Depends On What We Do

If all the gods took a vacation
Or maybe a forced “relocation”

Leaving not a single trace
What would we then blindly embrace

Could we survive a “godless” day
With nothing to which we could pray

Or would we sit and sadly stew
Cuz they didn’t tell us what to do

Removed from the fear of Heaven’s hell
What would we do, I ask, pray tell

The sun might cease its endless ark
And leave us weeping in the dark

Or maybe in this dimming light
We might develop “inward sight”

And realize, “oh god, it’s true”
It all depends on WHAT we do.

Great write. Interesting that I come to the same conclusion as you --- but with God firmly in charge of the universe. Great minds drink alike... L'chayim! Na zdorovye!
