Fallen Angels
They fall, and fall hard
Direct from heavens yard
"Angels descending, bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love"*
Maybe they had a heart
Especially for humans part
For our lives they must’ve seen
Desperate for help, we are keen
These are angels that have fallen
Why they want to help us there’s no tellin’
Their powers diminish as they fall
They still are the most powerful of all
Of us mere mortals, the weakest lot
But favored from what God’s sought
We might still need these angels
Those not quite tied to heavens tangles
The freedom leads some down further
And finds the demons to pull them down under
However those that remain with us
Can be great to befriend, remind thus
The good that we have within human nature
And maybe the fallen angels give a good future
Released from those daily problems we see
Their perfect powers will surely set us free
The friendly fallen angels that’s before us
Are more helpful than hurtful nonetheless
If we can just find them
We can love again
As there once was
Can be again, twas
The way it was meant to be
A fallen angel for you and me
