Poem – The Attack Of The Fifty Foot Nun

A poem I wrote and read at several open mic events, including one at the Iridescence Eastercon Science Fiction Convention in Birmingham in 2026.

Sister Superior   

Stomps on the inferior,   

And gouges the Earth to get to the interior 

Convinced the Core is Hell.   

No science spouting infidel can tell   

Her she is wrong.  

Faith keeps her strong.  

As she smites down the sinners.  

There can be no winners, 

As she kills all true believers too,  

Convinced she is casting their souls through  

The Pearly Gates of Paradise.  

Whether you’ve been wicked or nice  

You’re Heaven sent if you agree to repent   

The other place awaits  those she doesn’t consider saints.  

It’s the Apocalypse, plain and simple.  

The World ends not with a bang, but with a wimple.
