St. Michael and all Angels

Luke 10:17-20

I saw Satan fall

screaming from heaven in unthinkable defeat

at the hands of the few

those sent from nowhere by Christ

screaming down in defeat

at the hands of the weak

made strong by the hand of God

in the name of Jesus they went out

in the name of the Son of God

they flew

in the face of evil

and won

and almost won

until the humanity shone through

in the pride of what had been done

and Satan smiled

a little longer

smiled until that day

when the one in whose name the victory was won

returns

returns and Satan will fall

like lightning from heaven

and the angels will sing

Praise

to the God of Heaven and earth
