The gods have come down, and they knew it not.

The gods lived among them, but their dwelling was with the stars of God.

The gods upheld them, but they would have none.

The gods arrayed themselves in gray raiment. But their hearts were clothed in rich purple and velvet.

They condescended with men of low estate, and distinguished them not from the princes, yea, even the chief among men knew them not.

The gods have come down, and they knew them not.

But a thousand galaxies bore witness, even worlds afar off testified. Orion and Plaiedes bore witness, and the constellations thereof.

But the gods would not acknowledge them.

Abaddon acknowledged them. Even Endless Sheol whispered their fear.

But the gods would pay no heed. The warriors would have none.

Though the earth crumble as the day of Ragnorok or Armaggedon, or if it were swallowed up by the Uroboros or Leviathan, the gods would not acknowledge.

They would set their eyes to the East, and would disappear in a cloud.

  It sounds like this is referring to Genesis chapter 6 where fallen angels went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, some refer to as the Nephilim. The reason why God brought about the great flood.
  
  Genesis 6:4-5
  
  Either that or it is a mixture of Sumerian, Hebrew/Christian and other legends.

  The gods have come down, and they knew it not.
  This line means- the prophets come down as humans and are not aware of themselves or their job since birth.They understand themselves with time.Then all men are god.
  
  They condescended with men of low estate, and distinguished them not from the princes, yea, even the chief among men knew them not.
  
  They looked at everyone equally irrespective of him being rich or poor.
  even the chief among men knew them not.-Zaratushtra was jailed for fourteen years as he was called mad, no one including the king recognized him as a prophet or man of god.

  Needless to say, I wasn't being serious, but the problem with the original text is that there are far too many pronouns. It's impossible to know what 'they', 'them' refers to. Obscurity doesn't equal mysticism, doesn't equal depth.

  Yes, I'm familiar with that idea and have a lot more time for it than the personal gods of the big three middle east religions. At least it is not geocentric. But there is also a sense in which if god is everything there is no differentiation, and god becomes just another word for the (amoral) cosmos.

You didnt do bad at all Mohitmisra. Here's some help. Abaddon is the angel in charge of the bottomless pit, which is sealed against the end of the age. Sheol refers to the land of the dead,which is endless. Yet would whisper fearful things about the gods. Ragnarok is the Norse version of how the world ends. Armaggedon is the final battle between good and evil. A christian concept. Thats all I'm saying for now.

A poem could be simple, or it could be complex, it really doesn't matter as long as it's beautiful. Really, it annoys me when people place poetry in categories like you do. It's like saying only haikus are beautiful or all poetry should have a bigger a grander purpose such as political posturing...expand your horizons.

  Dohas is the form used in the Vedas considered to be 3000 BC, the oldest literary text in the world which means knowledge or science. So I suppose Dohas or couplets is the first form of poetry

Mohitmisra, you've done well so far.the thing though is, you veered slightly from the part about Armageddon and Ragnorok, Leviathan and Uroboros. You see, they both respectively depict opposite sides of the same concept. Like you cant believe in both Ragnorok and Armageddon at the same time. Ragnarok is basically the end of all good. Armageddon is the end of evil. Thats basically. So if either one triumphs over the other, the gods will not be moved. Also, Leviathan is seen as an ancient creature, one of the first, along with Behemoth. See Job 41 for details. They're Titans who according to Myth waged war in the Titanomachy. Now, according to Myth,the Uroboros,this huge monstrous snake will devour the world on the day of Ragnorok. See the connection. They're like parallel concepts.

  As a mythology fan, I liked it, although I would argue that you should make it into a Hub.
  
  The only bit that I would take issue with is that Ragnarok is not the end of the world, or even the end of good. It is the end of the old ways and the beginning of the new and symbolises hope, that humans should forge its own future instead of being the playthings of the Gods.
  
  Some have argued that Ragnarok represents the coming of Christianity, although that is unclear. A beautiful mythology and one of my favourites.
  
  Hope that helps

  Anyone doubting can have look at my profile-have put up poetry rankings my book is on.

  True, there too much stuff that's contrived. It should be more spiritual, more inspired rather than about insipid stuff that happens everyday. Though that could be great to if done well. I like you Mohit, and I rarely like poets (not poetry but poets). Writers are more down to earth, though, so I tend to appreciate them more. I write metaphorically as I've done since I was a kid...I just think like that, in metaphors. Not many metaphorical poets these days.

Some of us, even writing currently, (some even writing here) do take it seriously and do know good from the bad and the indifferent, as it is something of a vocation--and we have studied it for years. All I'm saying.

But I'm all down with the American right of freedom of speech, of course!

And you are speaking of Paraglider or myself? LOL

I just have to ask, since this thread looks a bit unpleasant.

I guess I should also ask, do you want a vocational opinion on your personal literary critical opinion or your published poetry? Maybe I should just provide that out of thin air to be unpleasant. Think so?

Something is up with WR, I think--one of my fans. Not sure what. She was being the same way on one of Christoph Reilly's hubs... No apparent reason.

I must say this is the first time I've ever seen poets at each others' throats--must be this insane religion forum.

  You must be kidding,there is allways ego clashes between poets.
  
  Come to India you will see politics in poetry .
  Then I would say more spirituality-look at Paulo Coehlo he got so much crap when he started .Today he is considered one of the best writers of our times.Many who don't understand spirituality try and block you.
  I fail to understand how anyone could give him attitude as he is such a superb writer.
  
  We had Iqbal who was pissed of with Tagore when he won the Noble Prize as he thought he was a better poet. Both were great masters.

  WR- Based on Lita's post just out of curiosity I went through your profile and found this hub of CR : http://hubpages.com/hub/Mr-Know-It-All- … -Questions where there was some discussion and all of a sudden I found a mention about me. I am not sure what/when/where I said anything to hurt you. If I hurt you in anyway please forgive me. I have no intention to hurt you or anybody else and most of the times when I am in the office I don't scroll through all the comments while leaving a comment in a hub. I must have said something somewhere (not sure where) but believe me it has nothing to do with you (most importantly hurt you in anyway). I hope you will accept my apology for unknowingly being the cause of your pain. As it is I see so much pain and suffering in the world and if I am the direct cause of it to somebody than that pains me the most. Once again sorry and I will try to be extra careful in the future.

  That's because I deleted your comments to save your face after you apologized. You don't need to apologize twice I shouldn't have brought it up because I swept it under the rug. In that respect my bad.

  From CR's hub
  "Countrywomen did say something mean but that, I believe, was in response to something I said on BardofEly's hub about a certain group of islands in the pacific potentially being the ancestors of Indians. Maybe she assumed (falsely) that I was suggesting that Indians are uncivilized...on the contrary."
  
  You said that it was in Bard of Ely's hub. If it was in your hub then can you approve it as I am really curious if I really said anything mean/nasty to you as I don't remember having said anything to you. Please I would like to know what I have said that you term as "insult" as that is something totally unlike me. And you say I also apologized(when I don't remember having said anything in the first place). Was it somebody unregistered saying it was me? I don't know what it is and I am certainly curious as I am very careful both online and in person not to say anything to hurt anyone.

  I said something on Bard of Ely's hub about India and Atlantis but you didn't insult me then. You said something about not worrying because losers win on my Chop Suey hub...which I deleted. I figure that was in response to what I said on Bard's blog.

  Well my friend you are trying to connect a lot of things. Again I am not sure what I said in the other hub and also I don't take things to heart very easily. And what did I say about Chop Suey? Usually I try to have a good time at HP and if I said anything it must have been in jest(having nothing to do with any previous interaction with you). And at the first hint of offense(when somebody feels) I try to set things right. Even if I said something(which I am still not sure what) was it so mean and insulting that you remember it till date? Anyway peace my friend. You are one of the finest writers and I am always happy to meet wonderful hubbers like you.

  Thanks Countrywomen! It was the title of a hub of mine but it was so long ago, like you said, that I should have erased it from my mind. It isn't just you, just a cumulative of insults from a certain clique of hubsters gets boring after a while. You're a great person Countrywomen, I pick up a good vibe from you.

To Mohit. The stars of God refer to angels. If I had said just stars, then I would mean just that. We are told the Devil snatched a third part of the stars of Heaven. This means he has a third part of the angels, now fallen on his side. Envision, the realm I'm trying to paint here. A higher level of operation for the gods. A higher frequency.

Writer Rider - to clear the air, I bear no ill will to you or anyone else here. OK?
We are all entitled to write and appreciate poetry as we see fit. No-one, not even my good friend Mohit is the absolute authority on taste, still less on quality. Let's not let discussion become personal. Life's too short.

  Good point, yes. It gets on my nerves when people start insulting me and I usually can tell when. I start to cringe when I receive a really good compliment because I know I'm going to get flack for it...but that's in the past. I prefer to move forward and deal with cultured people like you.
