Gods are playthings
Of helpless women
And powerful men.
Pretty little dolls
Fed, dressed and put to sleep
And prodded awake
In the middle of the night
For money,fame and name.
Some chide, some fear
Some claim they love
And kill brothers with hands
Joined moments ago in prayer.
Gods here are
excuses to kill.
Dumb idols stare on
As red stains paint them black.

My name is Deya which means Clouds.
I have an extremely stupid nickname.
:)
Very very apt piece for such troubled times. Least we can do is to ask people to embrace spirituality instead of blind faiths, or exploiting their faiths. I love the image of Gods being reduced to toys, broken, mended, fed, pampered or ignored at the slightest turn of fancy.
:)
You write about such a variety of scattered topics without resorting to any tried means that it seems amazing!
So true. I agree with every sentence....

"Gods are playthings

funny wasn't it supposed to be the other way round?
Very beautiful & apt. Ya, I really think that God is helpless in the hands of men & not the otherway round!
profound...i wish something could be done to resolve the situation tho
(and your pet makes a lotta noise)
wonderful... so true in fact!! gods are now merely an excuse to commit heinous acts of genocide and other barbaric acts... to eb remembered only wen u need dem... a downright pathetic scene!!
We have given God the high position & we succumb to Him, right? So, its actually all our doings, many believe God, many don't, many think God is helpless before humans, the others disagree retaliating that He is the Almighty & He is everything.

And, Chiku's so cute, I'll find a partner for him/her (I dunno his gender).
You should try giving him/her a warm clothing, it's cold.
