Powerless and Pathetic

What makes you
crave someone
to dominate you?

Are you so weak,
so pathetic,
so low,
that you need some
higher power
to show you
the way?

Gods and deities,
saints and messiahs,
figments of a
broken man's mind.

Do you have so little confidence,
so little power,
so little pride and strength,
that you need someone to
hold what you do have?

Is the only comfort you find
from the hand of some
greater being?

One with infinite knowledge
infinite power,
infinite control,
that can do no wrong?

Are you so pathetic
that you can't even
rely on yourself?

I hope to whatever deity there is
that I never end up like you.
