Fallen Gods Poem by Eddie Roa
Fallen Gods
Hey! I saw you
I told the breeze as he swooped
And lifted a lady’s skirt
With no one seeing us
But dust and a few scattering leaves
And a hobo amused at such a sport
And with a hiss the breeze
Timorously said, shh…shh
So, Zephyr back off!
You gods have lost your right
To bedevil mortal maidens
Prometheus had lost his fire
Achilles had athlete’s feet
Hercules went limp…aww!
Bacchus just another sot
And Zeus’ thunder went pfft!
The bra burning, hairy, tree huggers are past
Still the quest is to be as equal if not more
Battered, bypassed, patronized, even ignored
The Human Rights commissioner’s
Gavel struck hard at the shameful folly
These Olympians were once amused
The then dreaded divine elite, now
Meek as vestal virgins in the hearth
Greek myths creeping in your hilarious modern poetry.Good job Eddie.

Great poem with a hint or sprinkle of humor, filling in at all the right places, in the recipe of poetry. God bless poets, all-MJG.
A humerous yet sobering pluralistic theology.Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed reading this poem. It is well written and with a funny side lighter to read, but their is a truth to it which makes it even more worth reading.
