Odin

One Eye
All Father
by nature fallible
yet powerful
far-seeing
long-reaching
and worthy
of worship.

Give me the gods
in all their might
and folly
over cold
omnipotence
so easily perverted
by human whim
omniscience
subsumed
by man's corrupt ambition.

Give me the gods
who's message is
in story, song,
and allegory
not explicit rules
writ in stone
faultless
to be weaponized
for mankind's subjugation
of his fellow.

Give me Odin
who hung himself
on the World Tree
as sacrifice
not for judgement
or sin
but wisdom
for himself
and we, the folk.
