High above the spire
of St George
Built circa. 1794
The big birds
fly.
Their engines roar
Delivering people
back from paradise
To hell once
more.
While the small
bird beneath the spire
Attempts to extinguish
the fire
Preaching promises
-- paradise evermore.

Note:
St. George's Church is on Main
Street, Flushing, NY.
Located close to LaGuardia Airport,
planes regularly
fly in the air above the historic
spire.
