False Prophet

by rachel-thompson

We try to find you in our own way--see you in the demands we make and the sin of our hearts-- aspiring Greek gods. But, you are not there and so we cannot crown ourselves because we do not look like you. So we throw down the throne and make a new one out of sores and gold, but we find our- selves allergic to it.
