Angels and Demons - the Finale Act 1.

The eastern seaboard
Of the United States
As the sisters three
Evil dictates
 
Population massed
As the floods rise
Lands disappearing 
Is the earth in demise
 
In typical fashion
We fight amongst ourselves
For higher ground
A higher shelf
 
Woman and children
Allegedly first
Money changes
It's the size of the purse
 
The frenzy quietens
As the sisters appear
Dressed in death
Many thousands in fear
 
Families scatter
Trampled under
Human stampede
Bodies asunder
 
As they slaughter in spree
The government acts
Maybe this time 
They will believe the facts
 
The NORAD Complex
In the Cheyenne Mountain
A solution in discussion
This time, one we can count on

Hidden in it's hangers
Are weapons so great
For these sisters three
Will learn their fate

Around the table
The orders are given
To save our planet
From it's impending midden

Three Kestrel fighters
From a war torn past
Will have on board
A lifeline to cast

On this morning of thought
Our pilots of thee
From our silo's launched
To protect the world from the three


< 1 > Their Ritual in the Forest followed by < 2 > The Three Events >

Hi James, I thought I had read a different version of this, but your writing is fantastic as always! I also enjoyed reading of the three sisters' justified demise in the last poem. You are quite the storyteller, my friend! Love you! Carolyn
