Angel & Demon
Ev’ry cherub has a good side,
Has a cute and blond-curled nonesuch,
Muted-trumpet, harp-soft-touch.
But deep within, they surely hide
A grinning, sharp-horned, prong-tailed whiplash,
Bass-drum-beating, cymbal crash.
The truth is, in ev’ry Gabriel,
A Lucifer is also present –
Ready, should things get unpleasant…
But likewise, in the darkest Hell,
In ev’ry Beelzebub in town,
A Michael waits to calm things down.
