Rival Gods

Your thunders roll,

The twin sets clash and tolls.

Unpleasant sounds toss and wake.

Even the whole earth seems to shake.

 

Why did this happen here?

What caused this conflict to begin here?

All knows that the gods have feuded and side.

Only wanting nothing more than status pride.

 

Rules debated and time standing come yet.

For these greedy, merciless gods take what they can get.

There will be a law said,

To avoid the call of family banishéd.

 

But what about you?

When tis your cue?

To speak freely against the gods

And demand fairness firm and strong as goldenrod?

 

Resist blindly following their pleas.

Because then the conflict will never ease.

Do not forever be misguided.

For you yourself is already undecided.

 

Choose well and wise.

The gods will soon see your open eyes.

Even if the thunders roar,

Your choice will be even more.
