Gods Among Men

    Again, this is a poem I did in the 'Verse, Chorus, Verse, etc.' structure. What I really enjoy about this one is that, not only is the structure similar to another art form (music), but the verses themselves each refer to different types of art. I thought it would be an interesting way to tie them all together using one form.

Pluck a string

Strike a chord

Make us dance

Make us sing

Bend us all to your will

Listening closely to your song of lies

We are all gods in our own right

Making changes to our worlds

Maybe no one else will see

No one else may notice

But in the end we are each all powerful

And we make ourselves who we know we are

Inside

Exit right

Exit left

Take center stage

Take the spotlight

Play the hero this one time

You're still the villain to our lives

We are all gods in our own right

Making changes to our worlds

Maybe no one else will see

No one else may notice

But in the end we are each all powerful

And we make ourselves who we know we are

Inside

Turn a phrase

Write a line

Tell a story

Just paraphrase

Paint a landscape just with words

Reveal a history of your own

We are all gods in our own right

Making changes to our worlds

Maybe no one else will see

No one else may notice

But in the end we are each all powerful

And we make ourselves who we know we are

Inside

Draw a line

Paint a scene

Make a landscape

Make a world

Show everyone what you see

Share your world with all around

We are all gods in our own right

Making changes to our worlds

Maybe no one else will see

No one else may notice

But in the end we are each all powerful

And we make ourselves who we know we are

Inside
