Rogue Angel
The rogue angel’s gall,
especially in the face of brutal danger,
angered God and made him stand tall,
take a tougher stand,
because all in all
he was still in command.
God kept his voice calm,
he would teach the rogue angel lessons of battle,
or watch humans be herded away like cattle,
it was his choice,
it was his voice,
but the rogue angel needed to avoid the consequences
that came with running wild,
and putting lives on the line,
God knew he was a good soldier,
but these were just bad times,
God made the rogue angel’s masked visage disappear,
he sat before God without fear,
he gritted his teeth and dug his nails into the chair,
awaiting God’s blow,
he thought it was the lesson God had to show,
but when in fact,
it was Mercy that God offered,
and it was Mercy that gave the rogue angel his glow.
Last Thoughts
Last Thoughts,
that ran through the devil’s mind,
was the treatment of Mankind,
he fed on fantasies of sexual aberrance,
poisoned the appearance of homosexuality,
praised cannibalism,
he fed on violence,
and he fueled psychopathic minds,
he induced rapes, of every kind,
he glorified robberies,
and preached suicides, loved fratricides,
and encouraged matricides,
as he bred homicides,
he beats young girls with lead pipes,
and cheats boys, of all types,
some out of their manhood,
others, only because he could,
he was the grim reaper of common man,
as he created sin across the land,
hatred and ugliness goes hand and hand,
but the last thing he wanted God to give him,
was the last thing all man want,
so their life losses could be their life wins,
it was forgiveness of all his sins.
Frozen Horror
Hostile,
and angering nations,
the dark winged angel was bent
on destroying entire civilizations,
genocide is what he wanted and darkness is what he sent,
the Earth hung limply in space,
crying, as the dark winged angel was set on
eliminating the Human Race.
The sun still active and glowing,
but wish it could hide,
behind the clouds and winds that were blowing,
away from the battle between Heaven and Hell,
as darkness fell,
it lost its pride,
but it would have taken the mortals’ side.
It shined harmlessly, and hopelessly,
as the other planets simply watched in frozen horror,
as the earth was showered in total terror,
as the dark winged angel rained, pain,
and attacked with darkness that drove humans insane,
the violence strangled the planet with conviction,
as the dark winged angel tried to serve the humans,
with a permanent eviction.
A New High For The Darkness
It was the time for rejoice,
the humans had no choice,
the demon listened intently,
to the white winged angel’s voice,
as it crackled through the dark hand,
that covered his mouth,
and darkness knew he had command,
as it marched with evil throughout the land,
with the white winged angel in tow,
the evil darkness continued to flow.
One angel down...
But so many more to go.
The demon displayed his gift,
and he put on such a show,
and through human emotions they shift,
the demon strengths grow,
a new high for the darkness,
and for the light, a new low.
This Holy Ghost
Prosperous entity,
lively observer,
holy identity,
fierce loyalty,
wonderful, holiness,
served by man,
as we strive
to reach his holy land,
matured the human race,
restored the lost faith,
warms the soul,
feel his hold,
as he soothes our hearts,
no darkness could rip us apart,
and what we love most,
is the love given to us unconditionally,
by this Holy Ghost.
The Reaper Merely Confirmed
“ Witch!”
He screamed,
his deep voice seemed
to penetrate to the bone,
as she was shackled,
and left alone.
She was in a dark room,
uncertainty loomed,
her voice tied,
her life lied,
her future died,
her past tried,
as she sensed chunks of death
floating around,
taking her spirits down,
the Keeper’s voice steadily slashed,
pain shot through her vein,
her voice cracking under the strain,
death sent messages to the brain,
the Reaper merely confirmed her worst fear,
death was coming, death was near.
Fragmented Thoughts
The child looked down a dim stairwell,
heard the sound of feet
against a hollow metal he could tell,
he peered into the darkness as he could feel the heat,
shadows glanced over him,
others were oddly chatting,
as the lights on the doorway grew dim,
brown eyes glanced down,
smoke was all around,
emergency sounds were ringing in his ear,
he was frightened and full of fear,
the child drawled,
slipped and fell,
and tried to crawl,
as he heard the fire bell,
the shadows moved closer,
they were more frightened,
the child was charred, and black,
as the fire-blaze was pushed back,
by the fire fighters who were on the attack,
they saw the child and couldn’t believe their eyes,
while still on fire the child sat up,
nothing was muttered, and there were no cries,
the child whispered with soot in his eyes,
“ I don’t want to die.”
The fire-fighter gathered his fragmented thoughts and replied,
“ You’re not going to die.”
He lied.
God Summarized
The scene distorted,
the image contorted,
light shaded,
time complicated,
haunting night,
strong enough
to distort light.
God Summarized,
as he thought about evacuating the planet,
it would be wrong,
it could take very long,
but it would save civilization,
from the devil’s invasion.
The devil’s yellow light of destruction missed,
the bomb passed the earth and sizzled,
lost its power and fizzled,
God had moved the whole planet,
so the distort, contort,
was simply a divine plan,
to fool the devil,
and to save Man.
Jack Again?
Behind the sanctuary,
deep in a wooded area,
and without missing a word,
every sentence was heard,
the police searching the grounds,
finding bodies all over town,
losing daylight, and losing time,
afraid to report the horrors of the crime,
the women seem to have no connection,
no recollection,
except one,
they share Jack!
The madman on the attack,
a cunning predator on the loose,
leaving a gruesome trail,
strangling that could nail
any heart to the wall,
this time, only the innocent fall!
Where has this killer been,
and is it Jack again?
