God of Jealousy, God of Greed,
God of One-Upmanship? We need
Other Gods to shed their light ...
Though the God of Chaos does alright!
The God of Politics survives
Sending tremors through our lives...
But the God of Patience ain't enough
And the God of Kindness finds it tough.
How these False Gods love to row!
So Mount Olympus trembles now
As Fair Play, Truth and Common Sense
Fail to come to our defence.
Does the God of Media think us fools?
The Law's an Ass – we break the rules
The Old Gods, whom we much admired
Have, it seems to me, retired!
