Desert Clash

DESERT CLASH

A murky dust laden night gives way to a searing 
hot day over the barren desert. 
Sun glints off metal many miles away 
as aerial knights rise to do battle. 
The Tigersharks get ready to fight 
the Eagles in the coming battle. 
Suddenly it starts as missile trails 
dance through the sky and jets 
leave contrails in the humid upper air. 
A flash registers a hit as a plane dies, 
immortality now gained. 
It’s an air war like no other 
because the price is the world 
as forces of good battle against Lucifer’s evil. 
If we lose then our planet falls into death and 
anarchy.
