The Fallen Angel  – Tamara Digilova, 17, Jewish Russian-Israeli

                            They say, that the fallen angel sowed evil on earth, once he landed. 

                      They say, they pray to the Lord, asking the fallen angel about the lost paradise that Milton wrote about.    

                      But weren’t people created in the likeness of angels? Yes, but why do people choose the fallen angel side?  Why did my brother try to kill me while I was asleep? Why did my brother, with whom I wanted eternal peace, stab me in the back? 

I’m sorry brother that you are suffering for your choice, I’m just trying to protect myself.

I’m sorry that because of your choice, my other brothers got closer to God. 

But I’m not sorry for protecting the promised people of my God.

And I am not sorry for protecting God’s promised land to his chosen people.

Angel, I’m sorry that the fallen angel set you up

Angel, your soul found the lost paradise that Milton wrote about? 

And I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you from that fallen angel who stabbed your back. 

Angel, I’m sorry I couldn’t  protect you in that bloody morning. 

But now, I finally know that you found that lost paradise.
