the angel crashed into the river
but could not survive the rising tide
it washed up dead upon a village shoreline
a crowd of people rushed the scene
enter the priest, with a churchly decree
"it's a miracle of faith, and for those
who still need faith"
up stood the cynic to kill all excitement
"it's nothing more than a man
with wings fused to his hands"
the military were the last to arrive
but quickly worked to rope off the scene
police took control of the growing crowd
and said "there's nothing more to see"
the town businessman, already had a plan
he said "supply and demand"
and quickly ran ahead
the pick pocket thief
made a killing at the scene
a heaven sent diversion
he was gone before he was noticed
news crews in helicopters
took to the sky the ratings never were so high
officials scrambled to make official announcement
an explanation the people would believe
the frenzy of the fall lasted for weeks on end
the town was now alive again with a new identity
the angel crashed into the river
like a gift from God himself high above
to a once dying city forgotten by the sea
rediscovered in the tourist industry
and about the angel, he was never seen again
he was taken by the man
never seen again
