The Red Men and the Messengers
Waves of fire waltz through the night sky
Serving as messengers warning of what’s to come
His army is miles wide and growing by the seconds
Everything he conquers in his path
serves as fuel for his strength
His men will not tire
nothing will extinguish their fire
decorated in blazing red attire they serve from blazing chariots
to conquer
Destroy
Oh, how the Red Men enjoy
to destroy
The doves are the first
to hear the messengers silent cry
These messengers are mute
all they have are wild
silent gestures
which they paint into the night sky
In the form of billowing smoke
And so they trill their warning trill
as to warn all the other animals of the Red Men’s
Plan
The torpid turtles and sloths are the first to hear
The warning trill
Then the elephants and the zebras
and soon all the animals in the animal kingdom
Start on their journey to a safe
haven
together
forever
In one long line circling the perimeter of Earth
And finally a person opens their ear
And hears the warning trill
But it is too late
The red men have arrived
