The Angel
The Angel sheds tears as she sings
A song so sad that it stings
The children were taken
Their innocence forsaken
The weight of their cries on her wings
How did the world grow so hateful and cold?
Compassion traded for bars of gold
Greed for the tallest tower
Drunk on their lust for power
For coins their souls were sold
Her wings trembled with anger and ire
She confronted the kings of the empire
The men would not yield
Every one of them she killed
Their palaces destroyed by fire

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
