Pray for the Angels

Pray for the angels
Tasked as our guardians

So pure in virtue
So unprepared

How shocked they must be
The first day on the job

Helpless to stop us
From cursing
           violating
           torturing one another

Shell shocked with shaking hands
They take another drink

Contemplating the earth from the clouds
How many have jumped?

An eternity of faithful service
Cut short

Unable to understand
Such senseless acts

It’s easier than changing
Pray for the angels
