Fallen?
That’s what you humans call us,
Fallen.
You say it so often we’ve started calling ourselves that.
Fallen. I have fallen.
You people have some serious misconceptions about angels.
For one, I have free will. We all do.
And just like you, sometimes we choose wrong.
We feel the same things you do, greed, anger, resentment,
A desire to be special!
There are really only two differences between angels and humans.
One, location!
You like to say things like “I saw the face of God” or “I felt the hand of God”. I have literally seen the face of God. I have felt the hand of God.
The other thing you get wrong, the number of wings.
We have two.
You manage to get that right. What you don’t realize is you have one.
One really strong wing.
And if you would just love each other, hold on to each other, embrace each other for everything you are where you stand, you could fly higher and harder and farther than any of Gods creations.
But no, you don’t ever seem to get it.
But what do I know? I’m just a fallen.
You want hear my dirty little secret? I didn’t fall,
I jumped!
For more self-study, The Urban Howl recommends The Deepening Darkness: Patriarchy, Resistance, and Democracy’s Future.
Interesting.
But whether you fell or chose to jump, the question still stands -“Why?”.
