The Rise and Fall Of The Mechanical Angel

Rise And Fall Of The Mechanical Angel
He was one who walked with a sightless halo upon is crown and a commanders force in his step’s  he was yet again thrown into a meaningless battle to fight was his only choice. On his shoulders he carried the weight of the world. His cold vibrating wings, cut through the flames of the sky, glowing within their cinders. He is Atlas, a name quite suited to his situation. The planes are blaring through the flames of the sky. They are running on the hearts light of the soldiers and they fall with that light when snuffed out. The planes plummet to the earth one by one Atlas runs through the fire on the nose of a to be fallen plane. He has been the main martyr in this scene too many times. This moment seems like a looped repeating dream for him. So he doesn’t need to give himself to his battle he takes this time to lament this dance of his battles is for the tribulations of his heart. This battle in particular, brings a familiar silence within him, as he looks over his time and ponders was it worth anything at all? Did I use my heart for the right reasons? Was my light false? “I am tired of this so very tired I wish I could just sleep and fade with the embers but that is something my will won’t commit to I breathe of higher strength.” He jumps high of the nose of the burning plane and soars high into the sky. Through all the emulsing smoke fire above the clouds he is still in the silence of his mind. His wings rip through the clouds and he is enveloped by the ivory light of the moon. He in this silence awakens by a shot blown to his heart and the a sight of a gun to his chest with an enemy on the nose of a steaming amber lighted war machine. Atlas sees the dismay of his own face the reflection of the enemy goggles and doesn’t recognize himself as the same person. He instead sees himself as a shell of that person the bullet goes through. Him and his wings don’t head his call any more he’s….. now falling through the ashen clouds. His adventures flash before his eyes and his wings begin to heat creating a flam upon his back he takes the silhouette of a falling angel…. and plummets to the earth.
