Axis & Allies - damowords

Valhallan Victory
The young Aesir in battlegear assemble
Launch on the backs of swans Siberian,
Soaring rainbow streaks that so resemble
Storming meteor swarms kasabian;
A great city
Would soon below them spread
Disregarding pity they dived to mark the dead.
Mars musterʹd all his minions,
Lesser dieties adressʹd,
ʺDrive darkness from my dominions!ʺ
But protecting self‐intʹrest
Most fled by foot or pinions,
Leaving Venus depressʹd,
ʺWhat will become of our babe, Britanniaʺ
ʺFly, my love, to Horselburg & hide her.ʺ
One bloody hour of battleʹs fright
Wide ruin would unveil,
Choked by his plight the wargodʹs flight
Left Odin to prevail ‐
While Mars found sacred sanctuary where silver swallows sail.
Mount Olympus
Allah
Divinnia fed daily by the faithful,
A palace amid celestial flowers,
In Heavenʹs house an envious angel
Watches Joveʹs work then desires His powers;
Secret process
To emulate the gods,
He dons the wizards dress, wielding the lightning rods...
…Climbs mount Aetnaʹs wrathful summit
Heart pulsing with emotion
Like some young, romantic poet,
Sang, ʺLords of Fire & Ocean,
Of Air & Earth, my soul is split,
Quaterʹd in devotion!ʺ
From deep infinitude a lazar beam
Struck Allah, godhead twinkling in the stream.
This diety recognizing
Angels flock like cattle,
Prayers coursing thro His being
Conjure a capital,
Close to Joveʹs own, beneath both throneʹs armies prime for
battle.
