“Sitting here ‘neath moon-lit sky
Tell me child for whom do you cry?”
The angel asked, from behind wings of gold.
“In your heart I see things thought but not told”
With a huge gasp of air, I sob for mankind
As so many problems whirled through my mind.
“It appears I am weeping more every year
And feel the pain of those so full of fear.
“My tears are the innocents lost and hurt every day
Due to ivory towered decisions made from so far away.
For the precious lives stolen of those who serve
To protect our beliefs with honour and verve.
“I weep for the loss of compassion in some of my kind,
Especially for the leaders who rule us, who seem so blind.
The wisdom and empathy to make world peace ours
Appears to have been lost with the passing of hours.”
She spread her divine wings, so her face I could see,
And with tears in her eyes whispered unto me,
“In Heaven we feel the earth’s agony too, my Dove.
It is time I remind these leaders, God’s answer is love!”
