Among the holy and the favorites
I rest alone in the dark.
Strong Michael is called on for strength,
Gabriel for everything else good,
And I for fire and destruction.
Why was I chosen
To not be one of chosen?
I roam the earth giving punishment
Releasing God's wrath unto all,
But what of my own wrath?
My own heart aches for God's love
My being craves his light
But I am a vessel for his anger
And am gazed upon
Like a dusty vase.
I dare not argue.
Lucifer fell that way,
Fighting back for love
And going too far.
Now he forever rages in the dark
Surrounded by Hell's fire
Still screaming his mad curses.
I have no pity, sympathy, or tears
But I do understand.
I roam the earth as a dusty vase,
But I am dusty vase
That has yet to be thrown away.

I get weird ideas sometimes...? I guess I just look at things differently and some of my views leak onto a page (or comp screen). This is one poem that really shows my opinions on things.

considerate
this was good.
with "But what of my own wrath?" wat wrath does he have? the next line leaves this hanging.
and at the end, last three lines, does he choose that he doesn't wanna continue this job?
very interesting. u picked a nice place to open up a new perspective

Yeah...about that....
I purposefully left it so open because I know what a touchy subject religion is. Ha ha ha!
MY viewpoint, however, was 1) his wrath is the wrath all people have, as well as the wrath he has over not being one of the favorites, only he cannot express his own wrath because he must always express the Lord's wrath instead; 2) he sees that he and Lucifer are almost the same, except he is strong enough to continue doing what he was created to do (expressing God's wrath), keeping himself from being tossed from heaven like Lucifer, where he would never see God's light again. Even if he is merely a tool of God, and is forced to do terrible things, at least he is still close to God and he is still useful, which almost makes his never-ending pain worth it.

very deep and sad, yet a very creative way to think. I hope this does not reflect any personal feelings.
we love you!!!
