Angel born in hell

And though he cried in the night
no one heard him coming
and they all slept peacefully
and wonderfully.

Through the silence of the night
his footsteps were thought
to be that of thunder
made by the sound of a coming storm.

Out of the depths of all that is evil
came a creature of pure hatrid
and much malice
that even those he loves
were not on his mind that night.

As he races down the town streets
no one can hear the clatter of his sword
and his shield.

Fueled by a rage of lies,
dishonored by those he trusted,
and above all,
the understanding
that he shall have no peace
until they are wiped from his mind.

As he reached the center of town
the streetlights were covered with moonlight
and it was just enough
to carry out his judgement.

Weilding his sword
and brandishing his sheild
he slowly rose to the sky
spreading out his hands and speaking
only to himself
in a trance
that only he understood.

"TONIGHT" ,he cried,
"I am through with my suffering,
I am through with the lies aflicting my heart,
and I am through
with those who have brought it to me."

And from the earth
there was a great blast
and the town saw only the light of hell
and felt the anger
in an angel's heart.

But one small boy
lingered outside the town
and it was his eye
that caught the angel in flight
and he could not be left
as a lone witness.

And as the angel flew down to attack
the boy crossed his arms
and covered his face....
and woke from his slumber.

He rose from his bed
covered in his fear and sweat
and said the words he would never forget...

"Angels bring vengence in the night
to those who cast hurt on those
we do not know are angels."
