A small insignificant
Child of a god
Was given one year,
For Christmas,
His very first store-bought
World to play with.

It was a shiny new world,
Factory equiped
With atomic clouds
Of gray dust
Which spewed into the air
Periodically.

And the silly little god,
Being sickly,
Played with his world
Constantly.
It hummed at his bedside
Whirling and blinking.

But one unfortunate day,
The little god's
Condition worsened,
And he died,
Just as a new cloud
Arose from the world.

His parents locked the toy away
In an attic somewhere,
Where it could hum-
And blink-
And whirl-
And never disturb
Anyone.

Except those who happen to think of what's stored in the attic. *S*

I enjoyed this thought-provoking write! *S*
