Ponderous Pretense Fallen Angel 19

He realised he had aged
significantly
cast from heaven so many false dawns ago
immortality a real possibility.

So, so many years of observations
of meddling and murdering
prancing and dancing
maiming and berating
laughing and beating
always falling back into line
and killing
yet unnoticed by him.

What had I learnt? He pondered

Man was happy to soldier on
generation after generation
working to live
following in fathers footsteps
praying and hoping
yet leading only to dying.

But recently there has been a change
if he was the 'right'
then some men
(only a few)
had moved in his direction
had murdered
had maimed
had berated
and beaten
and laughed

This trodden path
machine like movement
had a few strays
for that he was happy
because if there is good
there will always be evil.

I have decided to repost these as individual poems, they are taken from my poetry book I published on Amazon.

Some of the older members have already read these and I thank them
Just a quick fix to get my number of poems up. I was probably a bit quick publishing, some of these need more work.
