A being formed of the very essence of life
Gazed down at shadowy blankness upon its demise
Pondering its quietus by a man-forged knife
Its very progeny had just begun to materialise
When it had struck excitedly at a shimmer in the sky
Acting not with mind but with avaricious eyes
Taking for their simple delight and to classify
Thinking it makes them better, more learned and wise
“Oh how interesting is our collection of pretty dead things!”
Unaware, for they do not care, as they in fascination stare
That in pinning down in a display creatures of wisdom and wings
They are gradually rendering the Earth barren and bare
So with its dying breath the angel turned up its weeping head and cried
“Man, why art thou so wholly consumed by thy infernal pride!”

This is one outstanding piece of work. I am totally blown away by it. When I read the intro I thought OMG how horrible, but I was truly amazed by your words. Magnificent piece of work, I must say.
Smiles,
