Wizards of the Sky by Peggy Jo Shumate a.k.a Brutal Dreamer |
|
I watched them as they flew from the dark heavens beaming as lights of gods. I watched them land in the trees. Why did they come? Who wanted them to answer our questions or fulfill our desires? I didn't ask for them! I didn't accept them. Floating down with grace yet with force I screamed and yanked my hair. I tried with all might and power that was within my soul to stop from seeing them. I watched as they dropped the smaller ones down they fell hard into their huge hands. Can't anyone tell me why these wizards of the dark skies came to our earth? Screeching and squealing I was held my hands over my ears drowning out the horrid sounds of death falling from the skies. Suddenly the paradise I once saw the beauty within it was slowly fading into a memory being replaced with thorns and thistles. Where did my beautiful garden go? Why did my greenery and daffodils and the brightly colored flowers die? I damn them! I damn those awful wicked Wizards to rot in the bottomless pits of hell and damnations! I saw what they did. My perfect humans my perfect souls gone torched from existence. I watched it happen yet did nothing to prevent it. I saw babies die upon their entry into this world for no good reason, they just laid bare in their purity still as air itself on a windless day, not a breath escaped their new little mouths. Yes I let my new creation die. I didn't stop it when could have. Instead I watched the retching tears the mother displayed holding the limp pure child in her arms. Wails and pain exploding from parts unknown of humans. Yet I heard the wails just the same. Yes I watched as these Wizards came to my world once more now to wreck havoc and hell on my earth. My precious earth yet once again I watched and did not intervene not even for the women whom did nothing to be judged so harsh for. I watched as those Wizards took them not as friends but as love slaves of their own. Transforming them into demons and witches creating a different brew of humankind upon my earth. Yes my beautiful earth. Yet I sat with my eyes closed and my hands over my ears and did nothing once more. Why did I allow pain and suffering to continue? I could of stopped it I could of removed the evil elements but somehow seemed to thrive at the competition they offered me. Am I stronger then them, I questioned myself deep within my soul. Didn't I care enough for what I made or was it the thrill of the kill and survival of the fittest? I lusted with my eyes watching the blood spurt and the tears roll. I enjoyed feeding off others agony so once again I did nothing. I watched as strong men were beaten down to a pulp, their muscles ached and heart tore for their lost families and no one to give them the endurance they would need. They worked and slaved for these Wizards from the sky. Beaten and pushed aside them men growled and tried to be strong. Trying to keep their manhood alive within them yet it would be beaten out with only a few evil swats of the vipers tongue. Why oh why did this happen I asked myself once more. I worked so hard to make my world and to share. But I must of wanted more. I created evil within my garden of perfection. I made the Wizard's that fell from my heavens my creation they devoured like hungry wolves searching out its prey. Like meek deer strong men died in slavery, like women mated with these creatures of my heavens, and innocent babies died in their mother's hands. Yes I saw, and did not show emotion did not even care. I thought I would I thought the tortured screams and howls that echoed through the earth would reach me as I stood on my throne in my heavenly kingdom. Soft drones of hums and silent tears so I closed my eyes and I would not see, I looked the other way. It was much easier this way. I then covered my ears to the sounds that ascended my way. The lifeless forms piles on the earth. The carved gray stone with names and dates now marked where they once tread and that they once were alive in a perfect place I teased them with. I gave them a serpent I did and I gave them an apple. All I said is, "Don't eat of it, don't because it is the tree of good and bad the tree of knowledge." You see I didn't want my creation to know right from wrong I wanted to be their god and be worshipped like no other. I created something like me but different. I made a man not a god. Something I can trample on and stomp into the ground. They began to see and understand. They saw what I saw, and that was not fair. So damn them to hell I no longer care. Let them live on one another and on fear itself. I can turn a deaf ear and make another world in only seven days and do it all again. I don't need these wussed humans as my creation so I will let those Wizards of the sky take them and ravage them to shreds. After all I made those Wizards and I made them with lusty desires for humans and for the female form. I wanted them to procreate and make offspring but not perfect could not allow that. No human can be perfect for I am perfect in form. That makes me their god. I watched once more as I looked off my holy golden throne from the heavens with angels on my side we watched and gazed as the women moaned and groaned shagging those damn Wizards that fell from my heavens. I have my world back I cast those Wizards out my heavens is what I made. I created hell on earth to entice the Wizards out of my home. I gave them toys of flesh to play with and to tease. I gave them life eternal to feed on dying humans so my world, yes did I say MY world would go on in peace. The end copyright c)2001 Peggy Jo Shumate |
