OMG

(Know your own God).

We worship different prophets,
listen in earnest to their devout words
and marvel at the miracles,
that some say are smoke and mirrors.
So are we foolish to be fooled?
If there be gods, with real omnipotence,
then surely we would seek to bring them down
in favour of more friendly deities,
that sit with us, that feel our pain,
those gods that we can touch
in common dress, who whisper prayers
that all can hear, reason and embrace.
These gods are here, amongst us now
in plain apparel, soft of voice, rich
with love, ethereal.
So take the time, find the clues, search,
you may be closer to your god
but who would know?
