Deny the gods -
But not their attributes,
For these are eternal
And can reach across the millennia
With an impact, so profoundly ironic
As to reveal, not only a divine presence,
But our own flickering mortality.
Like death, you can't avoid them
Though you run - desperately
For a thousand years,
Just as the Theban
Who chases his fate,
As others offer tribute
To the Scylla and Charybdis
Of hand to mouth -
No more, no less will do.
And the horror of his innocence
Exposed the gods themselves,
Perpetrators of what no man deserves,
But inherits still - the largess,
Buried precisely at the spot
Where character surely will propel him -
The ambush, patiently waiting,
At the crossroads of the damned.
the damned
