Who are those Gods?

Who are those gods
Who, supposedly,
Determine man's fate?
Why are they hiding
Behind some heavenly gate?
Where are they now?
Where have they been,
Those gods who no one
Has never, ever seen?
Are they some unemployed
Prophets' invention
Who created their images
At some convention?
Are they the opiates
To placate the masses
To turn them into
Quite obedient asses?

There's only one conclusion:
Our homemade gods
Are a delusion.
The power which created
This vast universe,
The stars, the earth, the sea,
Is far beyond our philosophy.
