Ballad of fallen angels

Ballad of fallen angels

A Poem by StephL
"

We learned about ballads in my english class ( 8 and 6 syllables repeating) So I tried.

"
It was an unrelenting fall
Through the clouds, down to hell
It is a story for all to know
the curse of being proud.

Greed and jealousy are fatal
 Lucifer learned his lesson.
God's favourites die easily  
to teach morality.

The angels envy us humans
Walking upon the earth
We fear death, so we truly live
Optimistic till death.

Destroyers of our own world
and everything on it
gluttoning ourselves to death
and we know it very well.

This is not earth any more, it's hell
angels who never fell
We didn't deserve a chance to
we did not fight for it

Angels were perfect until the end
we risk the wraith of nature
Just like those who were once above us
now we pray for a saviour

We break every sin set before us
we never think twice about it
No matter what the consequence bring
there will be another

A new race to live in god
we will be the lesson
The moral of out story
live before you can die.

Heaven was another world
that got ruined by men
an experiment gone wrong
and we are the same thing

this tale will end soon enough
but a new one will start
we will be made into angels
and be set on repeat.
