Fall From Grace

swamped by illusions 
immersed in delusion
a strange darkness 
thoughts in confusion 

‘tis the magical way 
living light is caged
its pride demolished
by cravings upstaged 

demi-gods powerful
choosing paths unjust 
on falling from grace
turn thus to dust 

a mere wisp of straw
can turn the tables
love alone is real
moral of all fables
