Abel Iseyen Ancientman redux

HEROES

Is this really a dog-eat-dog-world?
Do we really hate one another that much?
Are the loves in our hearts really so cold?
Is discrimination really our lot?
I don't think so...
...and I shall offer you my reasons:
Supposing a day comes,
Yes, a day so mean,
So cruel, so minacious;
And we're faced with the sudden
Invasions of lethal aliens;
...and they come at us with just one message:
"kill them all"
And they're as the sands of the seas,
Armed with sophisticated weapons.
Would we just act like a tree,
Who, after learning of his impending
Doom, still remains still?
Wouldn't we arise as one people,
Irrespective of our races, religions or genders
And devise means of defending ourselves?
Wouldn't we sit on a roundtable
and say to the Brits
"Please offer us strategic intelligence"
and to the Russians
"Please ready your RS-28 Sarmats"
Wouldn't the Chinese's spirits offer us great hopes?
...and the Americans, as usual, be at the centre of everything?
Wouldn't we pat one another on the back and say
"Be strong, for unity is our strength?"
...and the war breaks out
We, as comrades, confront our fears squarely:
In one spirit and in one soul:
Our backs against each other's backs?
In blood and in sweat, we stand.
...and they would come against us in all angles, in full force.
But we won't be shaken
For love and determination are the greatest weapons...
And we would fight them on lands,
on the seas, and in the air...
And it would be a fierce fight.
The kind no history book has ever recorded.
...and we would, every one of us, gives a very good account of ourselves.
And blood shall make a million rivers...
And they shall push us a step back
But we would push them to their doom...
And would make corpses out of them...
And we would make them wish they never came at us
and would crush them to pieces.
Their few remnants would pick up
pieces of their lives
and flee before us.
And shouts of victory shall greet our streets...
Our women will immortalize us in gallant-songs
To be sung even in new ages to come...
And we would give one another warm hugs;
and we would celebrate our victory with sweet-feasts...
And a black man would dine with a white man;
Muslims with Christians,
Boys with girls...
Young with old...
And we would say to one another
"Thank God we're one people."
 
Armageddon --Wojciech Tut Chechliński

  1. The RS-28 Sarmat is a projected Russian liquid-fueled, MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) equipped, super-heavy thermonuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missile. Its large payload allows for 10 heavy warheads and it has Fractional Orbital Bombardment (FOBS) capability; to bypass American weapon detection systems, after launch, the missile would briefly go into a low Earth orbit before redeploying. When it is operational, it will receive the NATO designation "SS-30 Satan 2."

    According to the "Book of Revelation" [16:16], Armageddon (from the Greek "Har Magedon," the translation of the Hebrew "har məgiddo") will be the gathering place before the final battle between the forces of good and evil will occur. Specifically it referred to Tel Megiddo, a hill in the Kishon river area about 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee. The precise nature of the conflict, however, has been disputed among the various Christian and Muslim sects.
