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.
