We are an image of a god that
has been smeared and battered with mud
We are the fallen,
Descended from grace

anyị ahọrọghị ụzọ a,
akara aka dugara anyị

"I like the title, Your language use is good, although I think that you should edit for tense; past and present seem to get a little mixed up in places. I like the cadence, it flows well for the most part, only becoming…"
