The Angel…a poem

the
wings
of
the
angel
were
covered
with
blood

 

 

the
knife
stuck
out
of
his
side

 

 

he
staggered
and
fell
forward
landing
on
his
knees

 

people
walked
past
him
frowning
and
making
sounds
of
disgust

 

help
me
he
asked
softly

 

what’s
in
it
for
us
the
people
sneered

 

how
much
can
you
pay

 

 

why
don’t
you
go
back
where
you
came
from

 

 

what
god
do
you
believe
in

 

what
race
are
you

 

what
can
you
do
for
us

 

the
angel
closed
his
eyes
and
said

 

 

I
cannot
help
you

 

 

no
one
can

 

 

it’s
far
too
late
