I had to make
a god or two
for a little mercy
when i found
it was not enough
i decided
to make it three
before long
i was up to four
and still
i found no peace
i made a sixth
and then a seventh
and my suffering
increased
an eighth, a ninth
a tenth and yet
not a one would do
i set aside
the gods i made
and put my faith
in you.
