In March of 1918, near the end of the First World War, Germany's military forces had been dried out due to the many violent battles fought in the war. Though Allied casualties were higher than German ones, it was estimated that the sheer number of the Allies would still mean that Germany would lose. The commander Erich Ludendorff decided the only way to win the war was to launch an all-out offensive on the Western Front. This poem is from the perspective of a soldier who wants to serve his nation to the bitter end. 
I've been learning German a bit, so I mixed some German words in there. I hope it doesn't make the poem sound cringe. That being said, as always, feedback would be appreciated :}

Hellfire Jones and the Angel Invasion

20 parts Complete

Humanity is right in the middle of an epic battle between heaven and hell. Standing on the sidelines are the laziest man on earth and the President of the United States who just might be the savior, the antichrist or both. Personally, I think we're all doomed. ------------------------------------------------------- This is my first attempt at the Open Novella Contest where you choose a prompt and write a novella. The prompt I chose: "Heaven and Hell collide once again. The War Demons march to meet the Battle Angels in a struggle for dominance over the Human Realm." I almost chose the prompt which involved taking a cow for a walk, but come on. Battle Angels! Heck yeah. Moo!
