Maggie Kopko Poem
When you arrived from the East
Into God's country, running from the beasts
I noticed your distant fire
The following, prowling wolves grew tired
I rode with heals of thunder
Shielding you away from their hunger
Fierce is this cowgirl - yes, I am
Strong is this woman - stronger than you know
No evil will penetrate her man no more
Great granddaughter of the greatest farmer
My childhood summers spent in God's country
Where real Christians told the truth and prayed before dinner
I welcomed this battered cowboy into my homestead
And together we rode down the path of righteousness
Into God's loving sunset.
The trailing dust took with it the lies - good bye.

Maggie Kopko Poem
The invisible disease still lingered in the air.
But it was not as predominate as the smoke that could be smelled everywhere.
After Ura, the demon of plagues, began to fall into her one hundred year slumber
The more powerful demon of division roared with thunder.
Not even old, greying Joe could stop him as he laid in his coffin.
The lotus princess took over the presidency and he was forgotten.
When the golden goddess' elephants died, all she could do is cry.
She looked up at the sky and asked God "Why?".
Into her open hand a hardened silkworm cocoon fell.
As it began to break out of its shell,
Its wings filled up with blood and strengthened.
Brown, strong cecropia moth wings lengthened.
"TO STRENGTHEN YOU FOR WHAT IS TO COME" God's voice advised. "YOU MUST BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEND THE HUMAN RACE AND YOUR EARTH FROM THE DARKNESS THAT WILL INVADE SOON".
