Wherever innocent men are killed
Angels weep
Wherever innocent women are raped
Angels weep
Wherever innocent children are starved
Angels weep
Wherever religion is used
to hide overweening political
ambition & bottomless greed
Angels weep
Wherever the glory of God is sought
To be proclaim through the barrel of a gun
Angels weep
Wherever piety becomes
Synonymous with rapacity
Angels weep
Wherever morality cowers under the blight
Of expediency & compromise
Angels weep
Wherever —
Satan is extolled
Humans cry
Are dehumanized
Grace & beauty of life lie
Ravished & undone
Angels weep

Thank you, DS
I teach religion and on the textbook the words "angels weep" caught by eyes. I immediate started writing and editing and writing until this poem was born. Thank you for your comment and for reading my poem.
Another good one - I do like the construction of this .
