Twenty Million Evil People Poem by Shaun Cronick

They came from all walks of life.
Men, women even the young.
All evil.
Twenty Million.
Twenty Million crammed together over three islands.
Lle Ste Joseph, Lle Royale and Lle Diable.
All found off French Guiana.
All know by a better name...
The Devil's Islands.
All were summoned by their master Satan
Or so they thought.
All promised untold power and riches.
Or so they thought.
All waiting for that promised time He would appear.
Twenty million waiting.
Twenty million counting down.
And at 6 minutes past 6 on June 6.
They were enveloped in a white light.
That was when the first nuke detonated.
A nanosecond later the other two hydrogen bombs exploded.
They would later by the world be called.
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
Twenty million evaporated in an instant.
There was no trace of radiation.
There was no tidal surge.
And open sea is now where they stood.
The world at first was horrified and puzzled.
Then the truth about these people came out.
The next day the world rejoiced at the news,
Of a new star shining over Bethlehem.
