Tricksters demise

by Fuqua, Taurus - Not entered

A Jesters lies
Tricksters tricks
Nothing better than cheap parlour tricks
A prodigal waste they used to say
until the day we two rose up
stood above all on a pedestal
defied gods
laughed in their faces since the two of us
we two were never meant to rise
stood before the angry gaze 
of the masses who had one held us
but no longer
freeing ourselves from the status qou
breaking the bonds that we had been bred with
and defiling the greatest temples of the elite
rich, powerful, succesful godlike in our minds once
we now scoffed at
but as all dreams fade
mist ries and fog burns away
we two who were never ment to rise
never meant to see the glory of life at the top
were brought down
by our own rise we had made enemies
by our defiance we had made more
gods take lightly the death of children
but not the children in their halls
chlidren not born to the caste
never ment to be
what we two had become
so the fire from our effigys
rasied by angry perfects
(people to whom the world was meant)
and the intensity of the holy light
the lightning which they sent
laid by tru friend down
his heart silenced
the mirad of tricks
the pains through which we had gone
the scars now alone would i carry 
a heavy burden as i fell
my descent from heaven
faster and harsher than ever imagined
Lucifer himself looked on in pity
for his two sons had failed
much closer than he had ever been
and his expulsion was easier to bear
than the fall i alone was to suffer
the pains of us two
fell unto me
for we had done the impossible
tricked the world 
made them belive we were always meant to be
for oh a brief moment
and now the trickster falls
as destiny 
as the fate for such as we were is always written
to fall
and leave the world laughing
at our folly

Reason for writing:

    no real reason to write it just sitting in the computer lab and was looking around for ideas for an asighnment and saw this chnce, so i took it and laced a little of my life into it and just went until i didnt feel like going anymore. the two were always one in the same, people tell me there are a lot of faces i put on and everyone who meets me has a diffrent impression. so i took that and put it in but it was all just a little exercise so i can do some other stuff for real.
