Salvation Landscape Poem by Michael Peragine

I was greater than those,
who were among the shining beings.
I am the one among the worms.
Thou art thee who hateth fraud and craftiness.
no cries of joy at the coming into existence.
The devourer of all slaughtered things,
they have seen the earth!
Yet many do not believe.
When magicians gathered on the appointed day.
Mankind was once one nation, created from a single soul,
and bestowed the earth with countless men and women.
There is no other life, but this;
nor shall we ever be raised to life again.
Eat your plates of beef and drink your wine.
Your armour is in the enemies hands.
Find the means of salvation of god,
through some superior man,
and restore our cities to life.
This city is a ship, leave your place, and come among us,
and furnish it with engines for your own delight.
Commander of the Army.
When men of wickedness seek control of the earth.
When devotion to nature is the highest order.
When nations of the earth struggle to extend their borders.
He who designed earth by his power,
stretched out the heavens by his skill,
shall seize the appointed time and judge with equity.
