AN ANGEL CRIES

AN ANGEL CRIES

Somewhere in the heavens tonight an angel cries,

Sadly a single teardrop falls from the skies,

For she sees a world in tempered disarray,

Disharmony of society draw forth her dismay,

Her heart breaks for all the world’s dissension,

Even more so, because she alone cannot ease the contention,

She cries for the innocent who are dying,

And for the abused child who tonight is crying,

An angel cries for those struggling in impoverished lives,

Victims of uncontrollable circumstances living in strife,

She even cries for those bound by ignorance and a lack of compassion,

Who strut around in their self-centered fashion,

Tears fall for the single mother barely making it,

And for the sufferer of domestic violence who still is taking it,

An angel cries for the nations at war,

And for those who must agonize in its horror,

She weeps for those dying from starvation,

And for the genocide that still exists in certain nations,

An angel cries tonight for a world so lost,

A world that would sell its soul at any cost,

Sadly a single teardrop falls from the skies,

Because somewhere in the heavens tonight an angel cries.
