PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Be a god of war, or a god of peace?

Let the people freeze or keep them warm?

Quell the plagues or spread the disease?

Play in the sun, or die in the storm?

Decisions are to be made in this hour;

the lives of followers are in the hang.

How they'll live depends upon your power;

Allow blue skies or let bright lightning pang?

They worship you, spreading forth their belief;

Hymns and sacrifices spread over the land.

Peasant, merchant, even the village chief.

All of this under the reach of your hand.

Be a god of war, or a god of peace;

within you resides both angel and beast.
