Mortal Mistakes

I know the God’s of mortal men Are there for us to worship So I do not find, within my mind A place for silent warships. A place where mortal men may hide To bring all-mighties down. To trick them into eating flesh That was nourished on Earth’s ground. It seems the only way to get A God to do your bidding But cannibalism, if you ask me, Has always been forbidden. So why even try to grab a God To have Him do a wrong? Why not just praise the job he’s done With bread, and wine, and song? Written 1983 for Mythology class in ancient Mythology we were taught that the only way to Kill a God was to have him Eat human flesh.
