Diablo

Diabolical in determination and deed, Angel with an angle, his weapon, a bevel-blade tongue wise and powerful, but with a major psychosis- he desired the worship of his Creator. Diablo, evil embodied, the devil Delusion? Illusion? I can be like God His resolution: raised leverage one-third of the angels rushed to his side fiendish fragment of his imagination He faltered, he failed; he fell. Derelict cast from heaven His die is cast; He will in due time receive his just due, a sinkhole, the pit of hell Death will die but he will not.

thanks, Kai Michael, Appreciate the third place "shiny" and your comment. Eternality is a feature of angels and humankind, depending on choices, choices, choices, followed by location, location, location. Have a great day.
