New God

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 07, 2024 

New god.
Replaces.
New focus.
Man made.
One god
after
the next.
Sentient
creation.
Evolving.
As with
humanity.
Simple
to complex.
Sophistication
morphing.
Transforming
along
the way.
Grappling
with existence,
sentience.
Limited.
Sapiens 
understanding,
capacity.
Bounded. 
Big reality
neophyte.
Spinning
narratives
of the
creator.
Thin weave.
Coping.
Man made
reliance.
Modernity.
New god
approaches.
Manufactured.
Hand held.
Head bowed.
Worshipping.
Worshipping
the next
iteration,
another
god.
