Fallen
by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)
Untimely
the falls
caused
to all,
normal like average
or peabody small
afraid or nervous
in company of tall
superpowered
strong, mean
hybrid bullies.
Nephilims called.
From men and angels
unnaturally birthed.
They pummeled or killed
incited by anger from within
or mere pleasure.
Not valued your worth.
No stop to their pursuits
or determined will
backed up by pure evil
and muscled girth.
Cowered and fearful
in anxiety many'd flee
the trampling promised.
When would they be free
to carry on peaceful
with work without strife?
Unfortunately never,
since humans did not choose
to find divine protection.
In floods they did lose
their precious life.
Lives
of friends
families too
right along with the 'Fellers'--
the abusers and the abused
since cowardly
and frightened
to utterly refuse
to face off the giants.
Enter the ark
courageous and thankful
for Salvation the Creator imparts
with sincere Love for humanity
He cherishes. It never to depart.
Fully prepared
a well-stocked boat
the earth then to cruise.
Bobble with no moats.
But sadly, only eight survived.
No more any
to harass or gloat.
To the majority
peer pressure or outright obstinacy
proved more potent
than desire
to stand out as different.
Make plans. Do aspire
to enter a door
composed of faith
in the invisible One,
who hires
as Noah to proclaim
His Kingship and Sovereignty.
Death to the coward and/or wicked,
though opportunity existed
many actually did
swallow their pride.
As the vessel floated
capably fashioned,
though regrettably
not totally
Used,
although offered--a ride
as fear and lack of love
combined
produces a catalyst
Satan concocts
to bind and confuse
those not focused whole souled
in heart, soul and mind.
Seeking the "Truth' not to misuse.

Started this poem with the idea of helping our young fend off bullies. But, as many of you have experienced, the poem took its own direction.
However, the links do provide helpful information on coping with bullies.
Thank you.
