Mankind
has been grasping
for knowledge
from the beginning,
fear of the unknown
was always forbidding.
Why does the wind blow?
Why does the sky
crack open
with light,
sound and fury?
Why do the oceans
roil with
such anger?
How does
the unknowing
mind handle
such things?
Gods is what we said.
It’s gods
that make the
unknown
knowable.
This work for us,
it help it makes sense.
As time went on
we learned things,
we learned why
the wind blows,
why the sky
cracks open
with light,
sound and fury,
and why
the ocean roils
with such anger.
As our knowledge
grew
the gods
began to melt away,
so now for many
at least
there is just
one.
We have gathered
great knowledge
over time
and have eliminated
many gods
along the way.
One big question
we’ve not yet answered,
were do we go
when we die?
A great unknown
to be sure.
God is the answer
for some.
It helps them
make sense.
God is the one!
