I am Death - 3

I am Death.

When you were young I made you tiny puppets to play with:
Jehovah, Brahma, Jesus, Dumuzi, Shiva, Shu, Tefnut.

I have made you gods
and whenever I was near
you prayed to them.

But lately you became wiser, and a fool.

You renounced all gods.
You found me beneath the puppets.
'There is no god!' you cried.

Well, perhaps you know something I don't know?....

I am like the beasts;
I am neither benevolent nor cruel.
Like the beasts and the stones I do not pray.
Like them I know no god.
Like them I know god in every Atom of my being.

I am death.
