Deity Poem by John Prophet

Wonderment.
Understanding
lacking.
Why?
Existence.
Why?
How?
How to
explain,
understand?
Spinning
in reality.
Trying
to make
sense.
Good.
Evil.
Dwelling
in the
soul.
Why?
How to
explain?
Manifestations
of the
observed.
Of existence.
Deities.
Good, evil.
Needed to
explain.
Coercing,
controlling
telling what
to do.
Explaining
the
unexplainable.
Praying,
following,
avoiding.
Controlling
hearts and
minds.
Turmoil.
Understanding
in turmoil.
Deity steadies.
Something
to hold
on to.
Life raft.
Life raft
in the
void, darkness.
Holding
the monsters
at bay.
Helping
make sense
of the
senseless.
Bulwark to
oblivion.
Hope.
Irrational hope.
Last line
of defense.
