Why he maintains himself as One

a thousand gods
from one source
but he maintains
himself as one
so that men will not
be lost running
from one entity
to another for favours

ultimately, his test
of their gratitude
love and sincerity
to their Creator

and to be his finest
creature - smart,
fine, intelligent
and knows where
he walks here
and beyond
