ZEUS DOWNED
the plan was
to slip under radar
flying in from Olympus
to punish us exactly,
strafe us with
lightning
it was nevertheless the fate
of this mighty son of Cronos
that
we saw him heading here
calculated
all the vectors
and simply shot him down
and so we
laughed it off, his
high and mighty books embargo
laughed at his divine calculus
of good
and evil, as all
his algorithms swept
into action
all his talk of
balance of power, mutually
assured annihilation,
of (the hypocrite) ban on
deity mortal cohabitation
so much threat to
their perfect celestial divine
level
and an
upwardly mobile
ambitious deadly spawn
a clamoring army
of hybrids, mixes
and
fearsome blends
variations on
the theme of demigod
