Of Angels And Demons Poem by Keith Ricardo Williams

from the depths of hell lurk little imps
from the heavens above dropp little cherubs
in the middle just mere mortals
caught inside devilish tempations, and angelic dreams
the battle between good, and evil
all that was transparent remains unseen
just holy books, and demonic spells
anything for a buck will sell
images of ghosts, goblins, vampires galore
jesus, bhudda, jah need i say more
a holy war commercialized for the world to see
so blind are we
the real battle we cannot see
how demons pull one way, and angels the other
brother against brother, sister against sister
children robbing, stealing, killing
preachers, teachers lying
mothers, fathers crying
useless wars where there are soldiers dying
presidential criminals, a million subliminals
sex, in a world of animalistic desires
tsunamis, and forest fires
some say the end is near
some say armageddeon is here
some still waiting for a messiah
some looking higher
some fulfilling their every desire
some enjoying the warmth of hell’s fire
some spreading wings to fly
but can’t no matter how hard they try
as the cherubs, and imps grow
what of angels, and demons
do we really know?
mere mortals lost in confusion
which alliance are you choosing?
or are we simple pawns in a game?
move the wrong way
gone! ! ! !
