Every God In Global Myths

So I believe in prophets, but not gods,
for I respect those mortal human beings
whose suffering sparked great visions in their hearts
to speak with courage against evil kings
and lead their people to the Promised Land,
providing framework to live better lives.

Yet I love every god in every myth
worshipped by people in religious cults
for they were once mortal humans like me
who performed such deeds of dramatic force,
defending their tribe against hostile greed,
that concept of their soul still glows alive.

Though their mortal bodies of bones and flesh,
fueled by passionate blood of honest faith,
have crumbled into dust centuries ago,
grand spirit of their performance remains
as vivid glow of light before our eyes
so they guide how we live our normal days.

Gods are immortal concepts in our minds
rather than real entities in the world
who glow as concepts of socialized tropes
that embody morals we value most
because dramatic actions of their hearts
remain imprinted on collective minds.

So I believe in mortal human beings
who wake from paralysis of despair
and transcend suffering with intense desire
to organize their people with bright goal,
through strict discipline of obedient faith,
to build paradise in waste land of fear.

No supernatural beings, with total power
to control flow of material energy
as mental thoughts in words of magic spells,
exist beyond bounds of limited shape
that defines bodies which conjure our souls,
nor can they resurrect the dead to life.

I value every god in global myths
as memories of great humans who once lived,
so they all shine as idols of success
in star-domed Pantheon of my world religion,
each one important node of psychic truth
that shines on stage of our world theater.

Gods, kings, warriors, prophets, seers, and scribes
all manifest our global institute
of storytelling that preserves in myth
productive actions of those mortal souls
whom we adore as gods of human lore,
great heroes for Astarianity.
