AVENGING ANGELS

By izzy ess from niceness

Avenging Angels had a busy day,

Just yesterday, when terrorists attacked

A tiny village in Hoohoostan and

Killed the entire population, burning

Down the buildings and straight slaughtering

All men, women and children in the village

Of Teehee, upon the River Doodoo,

In the province of See-see-yes-yes.

This picturesque quaint village was attracting

Tourists to its beauty and the simple

Agricultural life-style and fish-

Based diet, so reputedly a weight

Loss wonder.  Spokesmen for Al Kalael, the

Mad group that proudly claimed responsibility

For slaughtering the innocents,

Had shouted, “Death and Dirt to Infidels!”

While shooting off some ten or twenty rounds,

Up in the air, thus wounding three reporters

And three young children.  “Bless their hearts,” one Al

Kalael proud member said.  Avenging Angels,

In the sky, tried striking him with lightening,

But missed and killed a pregnant mother in

Another country.  Thor and God and Allah

Were enlisted.  They were helpful and they had

Much better aim than Cupid or that pesky,

Eros, whose high failure rate was legendary.

Those who married, got divorced

Some half the time.  Our Thor could strike a backpack

Full of TNT or knock a nose

And set of ears off any standing human

Being.  When he was being playful, Thor

Would practice aiming, hitting iPODs, iPHONEs

And cold popsicles, by knocking them

Right out of teenage hands without so much

As singeing them.  Well, God and Allah could

Not hit a barn-side.  But, the both of them

Could move tectonic plates and cause a countryside

To disappear or sink below

The water.  ‘Twas effective, but they couldn’t

Separate the terrorists from innocents

Because they looked the same.  Oh, God

And Allah also could incite a fire

And brimstone shtick, but generally, would also

Kill the innocents as well as guilties.

Messiness begat more messiness

As Angels screwed up, right and left and North

And South and everywhere.  Our Saviour Jesus

Finally was called.  He held his hands

Up high and looked up to the sky, now blackened

With the smoke of bombs exploding, everywhere.

“O Love thy God,” he said but wasn’t heard

Above the noise of bombs a-bursting everywhere.

“O Love thy neighbour as thyself,” he shouted

Helplessly.  “Forgive his sins as he

Forgives thine, too!”  Oh, more and louder bombs drowned out the words of Jesus.  He was forced to raise his voice and shout, “Lay down your arms!  You’re brothers and sisters, all from Isaac and Ishmael.  Abraham was Ibrahim and Sarah Lee and Hagar are your ancestors.  It’s all just sibling rivalry.  Doesn’t anyone read Freud or Jung or Adler?  Listen up!” He shouted louder.  “’Revenge is mine!’” my Father sayeth.  No one was listening.  Finally, He raised His staff, like Moses taught him, and He split the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.  Millions of Jews, Arabs and Christians, innocents and guilties, were thus drowned immediately by tsunamis, floods and thunderstorms.

An ark was built remarkably fast and stayed afloat for 40 days and nights until it ran aground on Mount Olympus.  Similar disasters did occur in Japan and China, Korea and Viet Nam, Russia, Germany and France, Africa and North and South America.  Only Australia was spared.  Roger Federer and the William Sisters, playing tennis there, became the King and Queens of the world.  The Kingdom of Heaven had finally come to be, on Earth, as it is in Heaven.  Federer and the Williams sisters lived happily forever after and produced as many progeny as there were stars in the sky.  God and Allah were encouraged to play Santa Claus on High Holidays while the Dalai Lama helped to rule the Orient and Romney, plus Obama, helped to rule the West, the Bushes and the Cheneys, notwithstanding.
