Angels Weep

rrodriguez

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 .
