Family Matters.

With music.

Look
Look around
Hear the trumpets
Hear that God almighty sound
See the wings in the crowd
See the angels
Listen to them sing aloud

The crowd
Parts for one
One manic grin
One smoking brandished gun
One final note from the mass
Two wings disappear
And the angels breathes his last

Gabriel sings
Gabriel cries
Yuriel fights
Yuriel dies
Raphael writes a song for his brother
Michael laments for his father and mother
The angels stop bickering and and sit down for tea
They discuss their extended family
Break their bread and their father's heart
And the angels go their separate ways again

All at once
The wings turn to black
And the hundreds of halos
Take a step back
Love thy neighbour
Ceases to mean anything
A war chant emerges
And the whole crowd sings

Human faces turn to snarls
The wheels in wheels collapse on themselves
A hundred people sing

The manic grin he sings with them too
His eyes have turned an icy blue
And on his back
His wings unfold

The whole world stops and stares
As the culprit emerges in holy glory
Angels murder too

Look
Look around
Hear the trumpets
Hear that God almighty sound
See the wings in the crowd
See the angels
Listen to them sing aloud
