No Old Gods

No Old Gods

Just gods with old ideas
That slice away people's ears
And bits            Here and there.

Amongst commoners, 
Steal a duck      Lose a finger,
Fuck a Lady      Win a noose,
Kill a matron    Break on wheel.

The gods smile, "Our Lords
Have enshrined our dogma."

On earth, as it is in heaven.

Though if gods' blood flows
In heaven as on earth,
Won't the Silver City stink
Of copper and quicklime, 
And old gods melt as well?
