The Deliquent Angel
Run away, but you cannot hide
for you were made to obey to this you did deny
Warned of sin it made you grin
now my young angel you are fallen
For the devil you did play
the rules of contact you disobey
Did anything you desired and wished
revoked your oath to dwell in sins of the flesh
Do you have remorse and seek redemption
do you think some how you are the one exception
Your sister and brother angels weep for you
for your judgement coming is overdue
Accepting my own failure and demotion
I was responsible for your quick promotion
You were clever smart and too beautiful
if only I could have made you dutiful
Judgement will only be spoken
with His word you will be erased, your promise broken
The next Micheal you might have been
all lost for foolish sin, what might have been
I ask to earth to go, to see you a last time
The answer I knew was no, so quickly declined
The layers of Heaven are dark
a single bolt of lightning to earth sparks
My greatest pupil you weakened me with pride
my delinquent angel, alas goodbye.
