Fall from Grace

pride goes before a fall

Fall From Grace

How beautiful and majestic
How glorious your place
The honor bestowed
The sweetness of face

You knew all these things
Yet you wanted more
"I will be like God"
You started a war

One-third you provoked
Into following your lead
But it was not enough
To satiate your greed

So war ensued in the heavens
With those angels you stole
From heaven you were cast
Pride took it's final toll

Prompt for Sept 25: "Fall From Grace"
My interpretation:
Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever." (Ezekiel 28:11-19)
