Blue-skinned god sits
in deep contemplation
before the Aegean
Lingers for an eternity
like a goat on a cliff
pondering suicide
Understandably
not his own
but his offspring
Eternally damned
unlike Hades
the blue-skinned god weeps
Simply because he knows
and understands
every possible thing
Kissed by karma
he relents to accept
his role within the world
Indeed so many people
beseech him to intervene
in their daily affairs
Needless to say
he tires of humanity
the dinosaurs asked
Nothing of the god
self-sufficient to a fault
like marvelous reptiles
Endless quarrels
between humans
irks the blue-skinned god
Despite his time abroad
on vacation
so to speak
Granted humanity
asks too much of him
they give him a headache
Only he knows their days
are numbered and few
ten million years at most
Despite fair-warning
the god persists to treat
humans like patients
Savage rabid mongrels
are a joy to watch
in comparison
Insolent children
who deny he exists
he's okay with them
They don't require
attention or upkeep
but the older folks
Seek answers
to everything
he wishes they would die
