Greek Gods: Where are they Now?
In New York, above the empire state tower
Zeus lays in Olympus
Brooding; bored as ever
He looks down on the city
An idea forms in his mind
Rain clouds with intensity
pour down on mankind
Bored no longer
Zeus lays back, eager
Near the seas of Florida
is where Poseidon thrives
He strides across the beaches
and interacts with all lives
Fishermen or fish
or other mythical sea beings
He feels at home
next to the great Atlantic seas
Hades is fuming
because deep in the underworld
the population is booming
Traffic in Asphodel freeway
is all clogged up
Hades feels like he's about to erupt
Persephone walks by
and rests herself on his shoulder
"Having fun big guy?"
Hades stares at her with daggers
Back in New York
Aphrodite hits the streets
She runs this city
In her high heeled cleats
Her beautiful jewelry
Her stylish hair
People graced by her presence
Can't help but stare!
Athena, a teacher
Apollo, a poet
Artemis, a hunter
Nike, a coach
One would think
the Gods would never conform
to such a changing climate
to them, it isn't "the norm"
but look here,
and watch the people closely
The Gods are among us
and they are doing quite nicely
