The Old Gods Aren't Dead


The old gods aren't dead.

They were forgotten, but they never fled.

Ares is found following the bloodshed,

Saving children, protecting the repressed.

Posiedon is found fighting for the seas,

The oceans are warming and going through a defreeze.

Demeter is with him among the trees,

If they all burn what will we breathe?

Hera can be found at the protests,

Trying to get the rapists to confess.

Her opposite Zeus is on of those pests,

He's had so many affairs, he has children in excess.

Hades can be found among the graves,

Victams of shootings, those that could've been saved.

Persephone stands beside him ever brave,

For she know what it was like to miss and crave.

The old gods aren't dead and do you know why?

They did not gave up on us and retreated to the sky.

They hope and they pray they we will fight not cry.

The old gods aren't dead, they believe we can try.
