Angels and Demons

For years humans have been deceived:
"Angels are holy and represent good,
While demons are corrupt and represent evil."
But this was perceived in bad blood…

Angels have enslaved the human race,
Tricking them into thinking they were free.
What they did not know was that they were being used,
And the angels condemned the humans, you see.

The demons were simply outraged,
"The humans must live a free life!
You angels have gone too far this time!
Prepare to fall in this newborn strife!"

The angels, cunning as they were,
Tricked the humans into helping them.
"Humans, these demons are evil.
We are good; help us defeat them."

The humans, without hearing the demons,
Grew outraged that an "evil" was near.
"These demons will perish among our blades,
For no evil will stand in our way!"

The angels grinned mischievously,
As the humans were slaying their saviors.
The demons tried to warn them,
But the humans took their heads as souvenirs.

"No evil shall withstand our might!
We are human, and we serve the good!
You are evil, and therefore must die!
You evil beasts will perish for good!"

The angels laughed wickedly,
As their plan had worked.
They now have enslaved a race,
And made them do the dirty work.

To this day, angels are known as good.
To this day, demons are known as evil.
Humans have been fooled since time began,
And fight their saviors from the upheaval.
Every time someone hears of an "angel", they immediately think of something that represents good; holiness; kind; pure; etc., whereas every time someone hears of a "demon", they immediately think of something that represents evil; unholiness; cruel; corrupt; etc.

Well, what if it was actually the other way around? The entire time, angels were the true evil and the demons were the true good? That's what this piece is about.

I've been wanting to do this type of piece for a long time, but due to school and my life keeping me busy, I haven't had the time.

LOOK! NO CONTENT WARNING! :la: It's been a while since I haven't posted something without one. :XD:

Critiques:
As always, a constructive critique is very much appreciated! As long as it isn't short (like "it's good" or "it's bad"). Critiques help to improve my writing capabilities, so please drop one by. :)

This is utterly awesome.

I really love the style it is written in, and it really got to me in a good way.

As you can see, I have given both five out of five stars

The originality is good, a lot above average, and like the vision, I have given it four out of five stars.

Keep on writing poetry, never give up, have huge happy days to come, whether you are writing poetry, stories (long or short) or not.

Sincerely, zstew2.

P.S. I love the concept that Angels are actually the evil ones and the demons are the good ones, kind of like a switch around. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let…" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)"/>
