Angel Vs. Demon

Angel Vs. Demon

A Poem by Rebecca Isherwood
"

Unknown date. Most likely 2007.

"

An angel falls down from the sky

Unnoticed, unknown, and in flames

Sent like a meterorite, alone

Accompanied only by its own shame

 

This angel wanders life in an

Unfamiliar form, reborn

How could a spirit turn mortal again?

Wandering, wondering "Why a woman?"

 

Angels, like true daemons, have sight

Beyond that of the faceless

If your heart is pure, they can tell

Pure evil are the shameless

 

Burdened only by their

Very own hatred and ignorance

The blood is on their hands

Burning from their violence

 

Angels are among us

Pay attention fools of birth

Humans choose their own path

Heaven is Death and Hell's on earth

 

Demons run amok

Causing havoc in the streets

Shooting innocent bystanders

Stealing things they mustn't keep

 

The difference between them

Wings of angel and daemon

Simply the color of feathers

Pure of heart or purely Sin

 

Daemons are the criminals

Their souls set aflame

They have a blood thirst

That only human sacrifice can tame

 

Angels are among us

Pay attention fools of birth

Humans choose their own path

Heaven is Death and Hell's on earth

 

The justice system tries

Puts a few behind bars

But buildings are just so useful

Until more humans hit the tar

 

There is no building large enough

To hold in the sin of man

The only defense left is

To grow up and take a stand

 

Stand up for yourself

The lawmen are human too

So few willing to risk their lives

But what path will you choose?

 

Angels are among us

Pay attention fools of birth

Humans choose their own path

Heaven is Death and Hell's on earth

I would like to rewrite this to sound more demonic and less questioning.
