We came with nothing

We could not speak

We could not control

We were at Their mercy

They took care of us

They taught us how

They took care of it

They never took advantage

Their duty was to help us

Their contract was to teach

Their decision was to control

Their choice kept us in the dark

Children are meant to grow

Children learn what They say

Children adapt to being told no

Children are at Their mercy

Parents created a home for us

Parents took on the rearing

Parents kept us safe

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Parents taught us how to learn

Gods were gifted with all

Gods never learned

Gods had it all figured out

Gods never did the work

We are what We were bred to be

We are the ones who will be free

They were the slaves to Their whims

They were only allowed prayers and hymns

Humanity born to walk in the shadow of Their creators

Tyrants made to feed the cosmos, suffering

The throne left in crumbled ruins

The temple in disarray

Pain melts away

New parents

Children

Sleep

Dream -------------------------------------------------- Rewrite

Now wake

World rebuilt

Libraries and schools

Goodbye to war and suffering

The new will overwrite the old now

Remove the bonds shackling Them here

Humanity rises from the ashes of gods to claim

We rise over They who sacrificed for Their enjoyment

Crumble Old Ones, We are the kings now, and We shall serve this world and you shall be forgot.
