Like any other god I am sustained by belief.
For many years I have labored to reduce the faith of my cult,
but they stubbornly persist.
Always I long for death but their prayers keep me here.
I am cruel to them, inconsiderate beyond reproach,
but they insist on forgiving me.
Though I have never told them,
I feel they are aware that their love keeps me alive
and so nothing I do can dissuade them.
They do not even know that when I die I will destroy the universe.
They are doing it just for me.
