Among Us
The gods are still among us,
Hiding in plain sight
Athena marches with others,
Protesting to have equality for all
Apollo accompanies everyone,
His music blasting through earbuds
Hephaestus' labor is everywhere,
Shown through the working class' efforts
Hera smiles softly in joy,
When another couple ties the knot
Poseidon rules the ocean,
Shown in people cleaning his waters
Hades oversees the grief of others,
As people deal with their loved ones being lost
Demeter scorns the politicians,
Through the scientists of the earth
Hermes brings us important news,
Through the people that share with others
Artemis takes care of the wild,
As seen through forest restoration
While Zeus watches over them all,
Making sure they are doing their best
The gods are still among us,
Not dead but not alive
They are shown through what humanity can do
And what we will do next
