Statueschatology

by Eddie Aderne

“A drunk man has impaled himself on a statue of the Archangel Michael while allegedly
attempting to steal valuables from a church in Monterrey, Mexico, near the US-Texan border.”
LAD Bible

An anti-angel reels and trips,
Presaging the Apocalypse.
If he’d not lost but kept his head on,
He might have bypassed Armageddon,
But Michael honors his vocation.
The wretch finds this a Revelation.
