To A Dead God

                                O Poseidon!
How thy seas did froth and foam!
The sea was thy dominion;
thus, it was thy strength and home.
How Man didst tremble and shake,
when thou caused the earth to quake!

Neptune was a Roman fraud,
who was an imposter god!

Thy waves became a trickle,
(for mortal men are fickle)
as thy godly kin and kith
were deemed false and foolish myth.

Whither art those rare portals
which do hide dead immortals?

Proud Poseidon rests in peace, for his pagan praise did cease.
