18 Angels

Eighteen angels burn,
as the wheels of progress and vengeance turn.
Eighteen angels try to fly,
with blood soaked wings.
As black fills the sky,
eighteen angels lay dying.

The Beast is awakened,
from it's slumber.
As the drums of progress,
thump and thud in a sadistic cadence.

The skies black as ink,
ring out with thunder.
Our only light,
our only hope.
is ourselves.
No GOD, No morning star, can save us now. 

That warped sense of progression,
the same thing that unleashed hell on earth,
the only thing that can provide salvation.

",...as the drums of progress, thump and thud in a sarcastic cadence." when you wrote that i knew you gave yourself a high-five ! very, very cool poem ! lovely dark and deep.

I feel your frustration, Christina13. Man has (supposedly) progressed from the primeval wilderness to a technically burgeoning civilization, only to, still, find himself in an environment where only the strong (or the perfidious) survive. Wonderfully evocative allegory.

Wow. Thankyou I was a little afraid no one would get what I'm saying.

there's no GOD...please!!!!

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
