Dragons and Angels

• Description: Although the poem seems pretty straight forward, it requires some interpretation to determine the "why" I wrote this. That, or you could just read it and not try to figure out the meaning.

Dragons are streaming across our skies
Creating fire in their wake, and hoarding treasures
While the angels sit and stare, singing lullabies
Apathetic, uncaring to man's cause
they take leisurely flights and let from wings fall
their golden, holy, beautiful feathers

The men stare upward toward space
They listen as the dragons taunt them from afar
As angels serenade them, dressed in silk and lace
they are subtle in their vanity, two faced...
with one hand, they instrument the miracles
with the other, they start to twist our fate
they open the doors to souls and leave them ajar

If ever I encountered an angel's masquerade
I would choose instead a dragon within my vision
At least with a dragon, I can still be saved
For who would remove me from an angel
The supposed innocence streaming from them
would intoxicate me into dumb submission.

Oh and I forgot to add, I like the line, "They open the doors to souls and leave them ajar" the best! XD

Oh I like it! I probably don't even understand the real meaning behind it - but I do like how you compared dragons and angels, and I adore the entire last verse! ^^
