Today I read the yesterdays,
to say I told you so
To prove my godliness to all
Humanity, below
There was man feigned godhood He believed enough to be, Aesthetics were imperative, but duplicity was key
The boy fled his identity, Community, life, and home But in this new city he’ll become a god! Though born from mortal womb
“What feat would win the people’s trust?” One of body, heart, or mind? Godly tasks are daunting, sure But glory’s worth the grind
There was man feigned godhood He believed enough to be, Aesthetics were imperative, but duplicity was key
The boy fled his identity, Community, life, and home But in this new city he’ll become a god! Though born from mortal womb
“What feat would win the people’s trust?” One of body, heart, or mind? Godly tasks are daunting, sure But glory’s worth the grind
