Sympathy for the Angel

Sympathy for the Angel

A Poem by Mahlo Metsys
"

Slightly religious, but more so sympathetic. An angel doesn't always have to be a biblical entity, but also as a person who believes in sacrifice.

"

Our souls need such saving, but why is it so?

These choices confront us and blindly we go

Imperfect creatures with a longing for glee

Is it a curse that our souls are so free?

Answer our prayers and we’ll just pray for more

Deny our desires and we’ll then slam the door

Yet you’re always there waiting for our next time of need

No matter the sympathy, you will save us from greed

In the dirt on the earth, keep us wet when we’re dry

Then return to your place in the stars where you cry.
