Question: Do you believe in malaikas!?
a parable

Malaikas

Come, Earth child, for my deyja nears!.
Warm my hands, hear my testament
for lonely the heart when night nears!.
Life was real, now death I marry!.

My age be in centuries, and
countless offspring I have buried!.
No more, no less, mine approaches
For I am Omega… ending!.

Empire builders we were never
just malaikas, journeying life!.
We chose your world when ages dark
for our people were once as yours!.

We were there guiding hands to build!.
We were there, giving hope to all!.
Gladly we gave, as others us!.
The Universe wills it ways true!.

But now, omega, my death calls!.
My Earth child your world continues
for the Universe knows you now
and some day it will welcome you!.

The alpha and the omega,
where ends begin, renew once more!.
Alpha awaits, your day will dawn!.
To enter, peace, the only key!.

For I am Omega, the last
and this be my testament true!.

I'm glad I glanced at the reviews of others after reading this,before critiquing!.!.!.since I had no idea what Malaikas meant!.
However, I had decided that it referred to some alien beings, not of this world (like in 2001 A Space Odyssey!.!.!.where external forces helped to enlighten mankind)!.!.!.so, in a sense I did read it correctly!. For what are 'angels' but out of the world beings!?

This is a well-written poem!.!.!.I thought it was rhymed until I really looked!
