~
we each have a god that exists within us,
self-crafted, a deity whose mantra enriches
our capricious psyche,
a personal theologian, a conscience masseur
to stimulate our deeds and thoughts both
right and wrong,
a deity summoned to give us fortitude,
to praise us when life goes well,
or someone to curse when we feel
abandoned to face the outcomes of our faults,
an erstwhile vapid identity to blame,
we each have a god that exists within us,
a bespoke god of our own creation
