Angel and Devil

This poem is less about religion than it is about the moral dilemmas of right and wrong. In reality, the boundaries of good and evil are blurred. Nothing is as clear-cut as it initially seems.
It is also about how societal views have focused more on the ideas of angels and demons being of good and evil respectively as is clear in pop culture than on their religious significance. Something to think about...

angel and devil
heaven
hell

halos encircling
tritons commanded
bright lights
red aura

heavenly choirs
damning crying

majestic wings
scouring horns
good deeds
temptation irresistable
cherubim divinity

happiness
eternal guilt lake of fire

mere ideologies of good
and evil? Religious or
conceptual? Which qualities
of angels,which of the other?

Or both?
