Forsaking Hope

An Angel stalked my better-half through my mind Questioning our flawless design Angel: "What is a beast if you grant it introspection?" Man: "It's still an animal, yet closer to imperfection." "What is a dog with no will to live?" "A dog with a will always has hope to give." "But dogs cannot contemplate, they simply are." "Yet humans can, is it an improvement or a scar?" "Undying love is a gift you bear!" "What good is it when it hurts to care?" "That is the beauty of woman and man!" "But what is it, what truth is there to understand?" "That is for God to tell" "If our questions go unheard, I'm glad we fell." "You've only fallen if you fail to see." "I don't see god, but I can feel the animal in me." "You would deny your God given status?" "If God made us so great, then why can't we kill the bestial urges inside us?" "Some people dwell closer to sin." "Yet none of us can handle the animal within." "I cannot help you if you can't agree." "Only if I agree you will set me free?" "Only with the glory of God can we save you and your kind." "You cannot help me, you are just within my mind." With that the Angel fell dead The man stared calmly toward nothing and shot himself in the head
