The Deities Of Our Creation Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

We must embrace the deities of our creation.
And beyond the commercialized practices,
Interpreted as religious rituals...
Followed with a hollow belief without depth.

To accept 'something' is there,
And 'knows' before we decide to take a step...
Has a presence so effective,
With a doing to correct our deluded self importance.

Those who have had spiritual experiences,
Readily acknowledge a power far greater...
That can never be manipulated.
Or faked with quotes to escape their fates.

We must embrace the deities of our creation.
And beyond the commercialized practices,
Interpreted as religious rituals...
Followed with a hollow belief without depth.

The ones awakened and becoming more aware,
Are consciously reminded...
Of how precious this existence taken for granted,
Can be erased to be replaced and without notification.
