Looter Eclipse

1. Aztecs-black sun. The eternity of souls. 2. Five stages of an eclipse. 3.Total eclipse-3 minutes. Deep twilight. 4. The moon has a temporary crown (corona) that celebrates its victory. 5. Viewed from predestined location 6. A fated portent by the ancients. 7. A natural phenonoma in the present. 8. Next in north and South America, also Pacific in July 2019 Looter Eclipse When darkness turns the day to night The triumphant moon bedecks its glittery crown Feeding upon the ancients fear of doom and gloom Their dread of harvests wrecked with troubled soul A daytime moon that mocked their sacrificial rites With cursed prediction for ill fated times ahead Punished by the idols of the time For some iniquitous crime to languish in dire Hades Secured the time and place of modern solar eclipse The throng awaits with polymer shades adorned Amid a gleeful buzz of expectation To view the phenomena of sun obscured And loyally watch its five stages When day becomes a dusky shade In matter of fact observation Ill portents dismissed and banished They see the crown upon its lunar head But not the sneak thief upon the ground Who rifles pockets, loots their bags The eclipse’s glory takes its place And he escapes with all their booty In portended fate of dire acclaim
