On The Clouds Poem by dimitrios galanis

On The Clouds

Rating: 5.0


The thrones we used
to erect high up on the clouds
for the sake of our old mild gods
stayed for long empty, unoccupied.
Our epoch's divine idols live now between us.
Upon those thrones new daemons are installed
by the usurping Apostles
of outraged madness
and mad rage.

This is a translation of the poem Στα Συννεφα by dimitrios galanis

Followers of any current religion scoff at the ridiculous nature of ancient beliefs and gods, never turn that criticism inward to see the glaring faults in their own. Peace, my friend.

The pedestals set for Gods lay empty for long and the Gods preferred to live among us. On the empty pedestals demons are now being installed! How sad! ! What an accurate presentation of a modern world where terrorism and wickedness are the presiding deities! Great write!
