Angels on the Head of a Pin

All these dancing little angels
On the head of one great pin,
Taking their broken grace
And burnt wings for a spin.
---
Twirling around and around
Like a broken record player.
Where will new faith lie?
Their guess couldn't be greater.
---
They spin around and around
Like a spool on a top.
Who's to say for a hope
That questions never stop?
---
Faster and faster they dance,
Their minds finally spent.
No more angels to ask
What the question meant.
I was thinking about the saying "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" , and decided to mix the literal saying with what it symbolizes.
