Troubled lives.
Bubble beneath the surface of Society and
Present to the world, erupting into an unimaginable canker.
Formed from years of festering, and we bring nothing to
Quell the rage for we continue to ignore our weaknesses,
Preferring to pretend it's all just a wonderful world.
Then I open a paper, a magnifying glass ready to stare
From a distance, but this time knowing of the latest
Eruption of inhumanity. I think that I can look and
That will be alright.
But it's not alright!
It’s far from alright.
For I see the pictures of the innocents destroyed.
And I can’t look.
I’ve always been able to look and try to understand
But I can’t look, for in the faces of the angels
Looking back at me I dissolve, I cannot be strong
And my heart breaks.
And I try to see the face of Christmas but that no
Longer holds my gaze nor my heart.
And the sacrificial angels turn to face me and I
Am not worthy of their shadow, for I know
That they stood in front of the bullets,
And they gave hope in the terror
And they gave their lives
For they knew
the worth of each and every little angel.
