Three Angels In The Sky

Three angels appear in the evening sky, 
faces glowing from headlights of our cars, 
with divine message for humanity 
which they bring from holy light of the stars, 
so people of the Earth lay down their guns 
and teach wisdom to their daughters and sons. 

Yet no one sees three angels in the sky, 
nor listen to divine message they bring, 
for we go about our lives asking why 
Death claps in church when we get up to sing, 
for people of Earth grab their guns in fear 
and fight each other to control our sphere. 

Because no one sees angels in the sky 
they disappear into old fairy tales 
about the Princess and the Clever Spy 
who fall in love sharing secret emails 
while haughty presidents crown themselves kings 
and wizards go on quests for magic rings. 

Except one little girl in the playground, 
who almost died just before she was born, 
looks up dizzy from the merry-go-round 
in time to hear Gabriel blow his horn, 
so she raises both hands high to the stars 
to explain her research in seminars. 

Following soft glow of the will-o-wisp 
to dark cathedral ruins by the lake, 
she finds the serpent who talks with a lisp 
who offers her moist slice of chocolate cake, 
so she chats with Gilgamesh about life 
when humans give love to overcome strife. 

With mischievous sparkle in his right eye, 
Gilgamesh recounts venture of his search 
when he dove down in abyss of the sky 
to find plant of eternal life in church, 
but all organic creatures die someday, 
yet still we must follow the righteous way. 

Waving goodbye to the ancient mad king, 
the little girl searches for cavern pod 
where Hidden Dragon ponders suffering 
till she finds cottage of the Faceless God 
who doubts reality of all he sees 
while discussing true love with honey bees. 

Accepting dream scroll from the Faceless God,  
the little girl walks back to city maze 
where she organizes the Justice Squad 
to fulfill mission of angels in the haze 
uniting nations of Earth in one state 
because through free will we design our fate.
