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?
