Gargoyles

Gargoyles
By Jeff Weiner

Gargoyles perched upon the ledge
Watching the city by day,
Flying as protectors at night
Seen in motion by few they say,

If you are chosen as one
The story goes not well,
Its said that only the evil
See their fate just before they dwell,

Some believe they are heros to the good
While others preach they are devils with wings,
I believe that they are Gods on earth
With the myth and faith each brings,

The next time you look up
And see this creature in the sky,
As it decends down upon you
There is no need to ask why,

This city will now be safe at night
Protected by my friends, The Gargoyles
