Axis & Allies - damowords

Before Armageddon
Jove counters with the verve of renewal
All gods & creatures meet behind his drum
& she with him, shining like a jewel,
Who was, who is & who is yet to come;
His daughter rides
Upon the divine lap
As angel army glides marching to thunderclap.
“Hosannah to the King of Kings!”
They sang for him on higher
Whose face shone full & flash’d lightnings
Beaming for sweet Saffia
Sat giggling neath soft seraph wings,
“Praise our young messiah!”
Sang angels, til silenced by trumpet blast,
As on they plains of Heaven they held fast.
Where once was aether tripping sweet
Now valleys of dry bones,
Two armies meet, their leaders seat
Themselves on divine thrones,
Perch’d oer the final conflict as if playing Lewis Stones.

Defeating the Devil
Perhaps a year, perhaps a century,
Swerv’d battle with many an inroad gored
Until all heroes of the heresy
Are dealt full low as Heaven is restored;
But for two ghouls,
Satanus stands by Mars,
Fed on the fat of fools, sporting ten trillion scars.
Saint Michael at the dragon flies
& chains the grand betrayer
Now Jove flings light from divine eyes
Toward man’s first destroyer
Who neath these death‐swipes groans & sighs
Always & forever
The Age of War now over with the guts
White‐spilling from a thousand bleeding cuts.
Jove turns to his first enemy,
Now of his great wings shorn,
“I once love thee, now… no mercy!
Of Eden quite forlorn,
Ye shall be cast into the pit & there become unborn!”
