Fallen

I fell from the sky.
   A bird with broken wings,
   Who can’t fly.
   Humans are my prey, 
   In them, I hide.
   Steal their souls when they die.

   I don’t care if they are rich or poor.
   I know they always asked for more.
   And I love to fulfill their desires,
   To become addicts, politicians, or deceptive liars.

   My gifts are free.
   All you have to do is asked me.
   And in return, I asked only one favor.
   To make me a resident in your house,
   I don’t care to sleep on your couch.

   From here I have a perfect view.
   While I watch how you deceived,
   Exploit, betrayed, and abuse,
   Your friends, family, and spouse.

   And when my work is done,
   I will find a new home.
   Where I will be welcome.
