Gods As Old As Time
Xx_midnightkitty | 1/19/26
Oh, beings as old as time -
What do you remember?
Do you remember the knees that have hit the ground for you?
How many of their lives you have gone through?
What they prayed as their hearts poured for those not listening - what of mercy they mentioned which you could never comprehend?
Did you find their lives, having been so small compared to yours, unriveting?
Are you even aware of how they‘ve had to contend?
Well, worry not dear adversaries, for it shall happen to you.
Kneel for the people which will now behead instead of being beheaded -
And pray for the mercy you‘ve deprived them of having.
You will leave this world as they have -
Small, insignificant and worth nothing more than the cockroaches which scurry through your olden temples.
You are only as powerful as your people allow you to -
And you will never gain power anew.
So contend yourself with what little dignity you have now,
as either way to us you shall bow.
