Angels And Demons



Angels And Demons
By Robert T. Davenport

In this world, a dichotomy unfolds,
Where angels and demons, their stories are told.
Some souls shine bright, like celestial light,
While others are consumed by darkness, their plight.

Angels, they walk with grace and compassion,
Their hearts filled with love, a divine attraction.
They lend a helping hand, in times of despair,
Guiding lost souls, with tender care.

But demons, oh demons, they lurk in the night,
Feeding on chaos, spreading their blight.
They wear masks of deceit, their intentions concealed,
Leaving destruction in their wake, wounds never healed.

Be cautious, my friend, in the choices you make,
For angels and demons, they're not hard to mistake.
The path you choose, the company you keep,
Will determine if you soar high or sink deep.

An angel's touch can heal wounds and mend,
But a demon's embrace will lead to the end.
Choose kindness and empathy, let your heart be your guide,
And the angels will walk with you, side by side.

But if darkness tempts you, with its seductive allure,
Beware, for demons will feast on your pure.
They'll whisper sweet lies, manipulate your mind,
Leaving you lost, in a labyrinth of their design.

So heed this warning, my dear, and take heed,
The choices you make, they plant a seed.
Nurture the angel within, let goodness prevail,
And the demons, they'll scatter, their power will fail.

For in this world, where angels and demons reside,
The power to choose, it's yours to decide.
Be careful, be wise, let your conscience be your voice,
And may your path be guided by angels, your choice.
