Upon the Death of My Father

You were given the godly power of man,

to make and mold young cherubim.

You were graced to ease them from a nest

and dole out their pairs of wings.

 

But you stole years and loves

and freedoms and prides.

You made their roses sick.

 

You knocked your angels out of the sky.

You made it too cold for them to fly.

 

As a fallen angel,

from down under the upper hand,

I hope that you make it.
