What If The Angels Don't Come?

Food for thought-----
 What If The Angels Don't Come.

Large appealing eyes framed in a heart shaped head
precariously perched on fleshless body,
sitting in parched desert amidst the dead
viewed with the sound of newsreel melody:
send some food, pray the dought will end
but,    what if the angels don't come?

Demented parent in poverty's claw
torn by desperation and despair,
every nerve exposed and raw
trapped in depressio's iron snare;
we pray her fortunes turn around
but,    what if the angels don't come?

Well trained soldiers stand on hot sand
heads bowed, automatic weapons firm in hand;
now aware of horrors of the battle field
reverent prays the receive God's shield
but,    what if the angels don't come?

Another war over,
to anguish torn families bodies come home,
father, mother, sister, brother,
painfully weeping from the marrow of their bone,
we offer prayers for families of the dead
but,    what if the angels don't come?
