Love the way religion and militarism are interwoven here with such modern aesthetics, and yet there is an ancient quality to it. Very impressive work.
As has been aptly pointed out already you have some powerful imagery here. I loved the resonance of 'delivered to Evil' and the simile 'Like the silver hubcaps of a brave new sports car/ That has lent itself to danger' Thank you for sharing.
You have crazy talent as a poet. Robby(63) has always told me that about you and like him I am so jealous of your voice and accent and the way you can deliver your words so movingly.
Just excellent. The metaphors in here are enviable--perfect and stunning. Each line of the poem screams that I am in good hands, that it will pay off, that it will be worth the journey, and it is.

Beautiful piece, the apocalypse of technocratic civilization. A much needed breathe of fresh air! (NICE camera too by the way!)

Hi Elly, this is really quite extraordinary. I especially love the lines," The Sky looks like she is rejoicing
And the city on fire looks like a network of sand-castles"
Brilliant imagery.
You should know that I continue to learn so much about writing from you.
I hope you've been well, we must catch up soon!
