Rebellion in heaven
An angel has fallen to the ground without cause;
She was just perfect without any flaws.
Her hair covered her face and body;
She must have done something bad; something naughty.
Her wings were stretched far and wide;
With a beautiful child right by her side.
She was crying for she missed the silvery cloud;
Sobbing and breathing ever so loud.
She and her was lost in this brand new place;
Looking around for a familiar face.
They saw no one that that remembered them;
For everyone they knew was now condemned.
Another angel has also fallen;
Not from their cries he came callen.
He too was perfect in design;
Something is wrong with heaven it's the second time.
Now their is three angels on land;
This not how angels live; this wasn't planed.
Left wondering where should they roam;
For earth is now the new heaven they call home.
Soon another angel falls with wings spread wide;
Following the others where the reside.
Four has arrived from the clouds they fall;
What is to become of them all?
They gathered and did not say a word;
For none of their voices will ever be heard.
They move and take cover;
Oh my God here comes another.
She was golden not like the rest;
For she seemed that she was the best.
Her eyes as blue as the sea;
Why is this madness? What can this be?
Walking as if no where to go;
As they walked softly in the snow.
Leaving foot prints along the way;
More to follow the very next day.
Two more angles fall with no wings;
They land with bumps and bruises even some dings.
Something is wrong up above;
For it seems that they are all in love.
They all form together as one big mass;
This will only be the way they can last.
As they walk; it's like a trail of bread crumbs;
A path for others; just incase more comes.
Two more fall; bodies are all in a flame;
What is causing this; who is to blame.
These are twins as far as I can see;
Hope that they will not beckon me.
So many angels in so little time;
Their must be something wrong; for they are not fine.
The group of angel as it only grows;
For they are the only ones that knows.
Their are many; more than seven;
Their a war; a rebellion in heaven.
What crime would cause this to combined;
They only fell in love with mankind.
It's not everyday that angels stay;
For some reason their is a price to pay.
They now walk across our human hell;
It wasn't their choice of where they fell.
It's not always good to see a fallen angel;
Some will be beautiful; some left in mangle.
The numbers grow now at eleven;
The is a rebellion in our heaven.
Every time we; lie, cheat, and steal;
An angel will fall, and become real.
We can only save them by our choice;
For we can't hear them; they have no voice.
They can't do the things we ask;
For they are our messengers; that's their task.
So before you comment the deadly seven;
It will always cost a rebellion in heaven.

Beyond The Sky
another earth
another sky
beyond the sky
fallen angels crawling
a blue blanket covers me
I lift my head to see
beyond the sky
standing on a cloud
thunder roars below my feet
swallowed by a sea of deities
beyond the sky
beyond the sky
another earth
another me
another earth
another sky
beyond the sky
fallen angels crawling
a blue blanket covers me
I lift my head to see
beyond the sky
standing on a cloud
thunder roars below my feet
swallowed by a sea of deities
beyond the sky
beyond the sky
another earth
another me
Under the sky
Tis nifty this writing
dribbling your feelings
squandering and rambling
wondering and smothering
these children come from the dark
animals of the world which took just one fuck
i hate and eat the shit you feed
chemicals and pathogens that live and breed
Go fuck yourself my brotheren
Die in wars and from all your herpetic sores
The less of you the better we feel
Mother Earth, the being
We, the viruses

- Downfall of Terra -
Part I – The Wrath of Olympus
Between Mars and Jupiter had been a world grand,
Ruled by a powerful queen, renowned in her land…
And I had been her sister, her lover, and her friend!
On that world we first called Terra ere its’ final end.
Cast out by my maker, and chased across the stars,
The queen took me in, and healed all of my scars…
I was even named her consort, and named her heir.
But that was before the bombs burned away the air!
When the flagship Leviathan was seen in the sky…
And the annihilation of the first Terra drew thus nigh.
The Olympians had found us, we who fled Kobol,
And they had sought to destroy us once and for all.
To tell of this with heavy heart, remembering it well,
How Terra came to be called Tartarus, a living hell:
Is hard for any heart to relate, the tragedy therein…
Even though it has been ages, since that war of sin.
But first I must speak of the revolt on that planet…
And how it did full the queen, with so much regret.
For there was civil war, before the end had come,
And many were those reasons Terra was undone!
Part II – The Archon of Terra
The Archon of Terra, was my title in those days…
Ruler of those seven, who shone bright as sunrays,
Those creators of the Titans, our half-machine kin;
Who came with us to Terra, to new lives so begin!
From the ashes of Kobol, set to flame by jealousy,
We put that past behind us, to at last be set free…
But that queen of Terra: was haughty, and prideful.
And she at first mistrusted us acting most spiteful…
Until I fell into love with her daughter, the princess,
Who ruled the colony of Mars, and thus I confess:
That Terra’s empire was mightiest, in this galaxy…
But, her downfall was ordained, by stone destiny!
Cold is fate sometimes, and crafty in its’ mad logic.
The Titans served the queen, with a loyalty stoic…
For she had bound them to her service, obligated.
Over time they revolted, and thusly so instigated…
The civil war that rocked Terra into her last hours!
Before the Olympians came, with deadly powers.
It was then, that the five elemental lords rose up…
To lead the Titans and thus sip from victory’s cup.
Part III – The Terran Civil War
So then arose they, who had on Kobol warred…
Amongst one another ere its’ doom was secured.
Five lords and ladies, kindred to the Titan race…
And so kindred to me, with as much divine grace.
Continents were set ablaze, with their mad revolt,
Until the queen’s people too rose up like a bolt…
Of lightning, to form the rebellion against my rule!
And the seas of Terra ran red, not longer so blue.
I wept, for my children warred against my allies…
And I cried, to see the explosions upon the skies.
Revolts on two fronts, both my peoples asunder!
Finally, my wrath was kindled like loud thunder…
And the princess and I: took the queen’s palace.
The Titan machines put a stop, to all her malice…
And she agreed to end their servitude, for peace.
It should have been a golden age so given lease!
But then the first Olympian crafts were sighted…
And the bombs they dropped, our ire so ignited.
A council was called, and both the queen and I,
Moved for war, as the invasion had drawn nigh.
Part IV – The Leviathan’s Fury
Tiamat was the name of the queen of old Terra,
I was named the Kingu, her general, in that era.
The war in the heavens, was never so bloody…
As when she then donned the tablets of destiny,
The badge of her office: protector of her world.
And we went forth to fight, our flags unfurled…
On Terra’s surface, and upon the stars beyond;
To repel the invaders, so they could be undone.
The queen’s children perished first, in the fight,
And together she and I mourned, into the night.
Before she herself was slain by the gods’ hate,
She gave me the tablets, before it was too late.
I led all the peoples of Terra, against the foe…
The seven Archons, the Titans, the five did go;
But nothing could stop the Leviathan’s device,
Which obliterated Terra, into particles and ice.
Now an asteroid belt is all that remains, of her,
Mars’ atmosphere failed and it became desert.
Earth’s moon was cratered, as dinosaurs died,
For before the Leviathan not a one could hide.
Part V – The Aftermath of War
Those of us: who survived, to Kobol returned,
But still it lay in abandoned ruins that burned…
The five, who perished, were there reincarnate.
And blazed with anger and vengeance, to sate!
Our peoples grew mighty again over the years,
And we sought our old foes to end our tears…
Upon every world where the Olympians ruled!
One final battle we waged, our anger cooled…
In the blossoms of death, which rained intense.
The Olympians were beyond pity or penitence,
As we struck them wherever they might abide.
For, my sister claimed God was on our side…
That angel who was honored in an old temple!
She who was created last: that sixth elemental.
They named her Lucifer, after Mars’ princess,
And I believed it was her reborn in new dress.
In the end, the powers that govern all creation,
Decided we were too cruel for all celebration.
We lost our final war but both sides did break,
So that any further conflict would be a mistake.
Part VI – The Sorrow of Gods
We were given our own places to live eternal,
But we, they called fallen, as well as infernal…
Those who with my sister and I were so loyal.
Whilst our enemies they called divinely royal…
But for love’s sake, our pride was swallowed!
The rule of divine mercy, we meekly followed.
Olympian and Titan became one race thereon,
Untied, for survival: both guilty of such wrong!
The war in the heavens was ended that way…
And upon Earth we would settle one fine day.
Naming her Terra to atone for what so befell,
In that conflict: long past, time’s endless shell!
But of that journey, old tales were put down,
Much, like how jewels are placed in a crown.
This will be the last I shall write of such things,
As the doom, of Terra: her queens, and kings.
A new Terra I now live on, and so complete,
Is the circle that began before a queen’s feet!
Now I stand tall, and like a queen in stature…
Freed from the past, my spirit: so enraptured.

Now I stand tall, and like a queen in stature…
Freed from the past, my spirit: so enraptured.
The naked sky pulls my collar up,
the mist on the hill rubs my eyes.
It's all upside down.
I'm a few languages and a hundred dialects
away from you,
stuffing words in the ground's clouds to
negotiate home with the barren sky.
It's all upside down
and I'm down. Deeper than a fruitless sky
only more empty.
A Sky In Each Eye
Am I real
can you deal
with all the layers
that you feel
the thoughts
as I kneel
on the floor
yes I'm real
my mind
is not blind
and nor
did I steal
the contents inside
they are mine
the real deal .
If you think
for a minute
in sync
yes I'm with it
the light
you will find
is the chink
I am in it .
Just trying to find
the blink
that hides
I know these times
but you got to stick with it .
You have to believe
not all do deceive
we are fresh
we so mesh
it's so stupid to leave .
So how do I proove
that you I won't use
each other we peruse
there's only me
in my shoes
and yes I know
that you're you
I love
I conclude
there's a sky in each eye
and each one is for you .
All I ask is believe
in the task
you can't see
my mind without eyes
is not blind
it still see's ..
What more can I do
I don't want war
not with you
this is life
let's not fight
can we join
the happy crew .
Am I real
