A Citizen's Guide to Divine Branding
Greeks insist gods invented drama,
Romans nod.
I buy olives from Zeus,
pay taxes to Jupiter,
and lose the same argument twice.
If divinity is branding,
Rome wins.
If divinity is scandal,
Greeks remain undefeated.
I leave offerings to both.
Never bet against myths.
