Challenge of the Week CII
Opposites Attract. Choose two opposites, like love & hate, kindness & cruelty, or angels & demons. Your story or writing should include both. Perhaps there are two characters, one good, the other evil. Or perhaps it's a tale of love souring into hatred. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Divine cleansing

In a world so harsh

Where demons prey

In dark shadows

And alleyways

Of this city illuminated

By garish neon lights

No one dare walk

These streets at night.

Fear and forboding

Was to be felt everywhere

As if people somehow

Had forgotten how to care

But then in the dark dank

Unforgiving streets standing there

A bright shining image

Appeared among the glare

Through the pouring rain

And the steam rising from

The street vents stood an angel

In all her divine glory

Dressed in shining gold robes

With amour undereath

Which to me foretold

The time for battle was finally here

An angel vistingvisiting to banish

The demons and their fear

You could here the demons cries

As they sensed here pur essence

As she strodestride down streets

Casting light as demons became evernescent

She washed the dark streets and shadows

With her luminescent golden warm light

From the rod she held in her hand on the right

And in the left she cast out waves of healing

She uplifted everyday peoplespeople's feelings

And gave them light, hopes and dreams

And turned these streets in this metropolis

Into a place so renewed

And as she did fear abated and positivity grew

And caring and sharing soon ensued

As the seething demon brood

Were sent back to their denizens of hell

With an agonising scream and yell

The angel before fading from sight

Spoke quietly yet it transposed in everyone's mind

'I have come and cast away the blight

Now in return you must learn to live life right

Be compassionate and tollerant

Be good of heart and soul in every instant

I have given back your reasons to hope and dream

It's now down to you to now to reflect lights beam

Into every corner and aspect of life

To ensure you all live worthy lives lived right'

She set this challenge then faded away

Now it's up to us to live in a better way.
