2God Level Impossible In this world, if the world was a game, then the ultimate level to be achieved would be God level. You get told from the start that this is the impossible level to achieve. Yet how many people even knowing this would still proceed to play the game? We're humans after all. Humans have that kind of pride. To meet God at THE level... how to play such an impossible game? No one knows.

Quezalcoatl's Rising Wrote this as follow-up to Perfect Fire poem, as well as an ode to current firestorm raging in California as of 12/29/2017. We live in interesting times.

It's fine.

1Jian Bing Fell From Sky People who have some knowledge of China and Chinese food (and I mean like, the real kind), would get this poem better than people who don't. Still, I tried to explain it a bit before start of poem and not sure if the explanation honestly helped or isn't really necessary for understanding.

Deus Ex Machina, Decoding Demons Inspired by on-line gaming communities and their creators. And girls like Arfa Kareem. F the jihadists with your tigers! Yah!

1Joan of Arc: Modern Era Rock n' Roll Battle Cry I had a specific melody in mind when writing this, and an image of Joan of Arc in punk rocker outfit singing with cool looking guitar in the middle of a march/protest in Europe. In my mind such would make an awesome music video.
