Armageddon For Liars
Chalithra looks down upon Earth’s ills
poverty, homelessness, starvation, war
she sees Earthlings as half spirit and half beast
sprawling her mighty wings, she draws her sword
one stroke of her blade cuts the planet in two
truthful souls on one part, liars on the next
Chalithra’s long platinum hair shields her tears
her human side wants liars to soar hopelessly through space
but the angel in her knows that Judgment Day will come
she raises her armored chest to the heavens
then bows down upon her knees
offering prayers for peace and harmony
her petitions make their way to the Master’s ear
she watches as Earth becomes whole once more
and she knows how she will spend her days
one-by-one she battles those who spread falsehood
knowing only the Master can bring peace, prosperity
but determined to save those who tell only truth
*Written for Tracie’s “Welcome to the World of Fantasy” contest
Chalithra is half human and half angel and she fights for truth
