Where The Gods Live

John Prophet

Where the
gods live.
Humanity
developed,
worshiped
gods from
the start.
All manner
of gods
have existed
through
humanities
reign.
None were
known
before the
rise of
mankind.
Hundreds
have been
envisioned.
Living in.
Mount Olympus.
Asgard.
Sky.
Heaven.
To name
a few.
Gods
evolved
as did
human
thought,
living
close
to the
soul.
In the
realm of
universal
consciousness.
Where derived.
