Angels Weep! (edited)

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 the arrogance of political

ambition and 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 and compromise

Angels weep!

 

Wherever Satan is extolled

Humans cry dehumanized

grace & beauty of life

lie ravished and undone

Angels weep!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Based on all the terrible things going on in our world, I want to resubmit this poem (edited) to express the agony our world is going through. Suffering and the destruction of human life is all around us. I pray that we as humans will do our best to be kind and follow the Golden Rule.
