Fire from Heaven

By Delwin Rees Buckner

A CONDOR, profiled in the western sky, His sharpened talons holding to a rock, Prepared to swoop upon a helpless flock That, frightened, fed upon a hill near by. But suddenly there fell from overhead A wriggling serpent of electric light, That struck the troubler of the silent height, And left him lying motionless and — dead. How like a hungry bird of prey that one Who only evil is, seeks to devour New victims of his keenly-whet desire! Yet sometime God — when Sin has run His course — in His own chosen day and hour, Will rain upon his head consuming fire. Colon, Panama.
