A Man Divided




A Man Divided

So much in the back and front of our minds
Sins past, present and some revisited
What are Demons but the histories we create?
What are Angels but the good we've left to remember?
And what of the fallen Angels we forgot?
Our children cursed by the bloodline before
And we did nothing to change the sins called Family
Are but memories of gods fallen begging to repent
I AM THAT I AM an echoed plague the red sea forgot
Thoughts hung for past present and future Sins
They gave it a name, this is the dawning of “The age of Aquarius”
Wow where did that come from!!!
