An Angel Falls

 

A child forgotten stands there all alone

A worthless ruler sits there on his throne

A fearful person lives life on their own

A world gone rotten all reaping what we've sewn

 

 

A hopeless addict is waiting to decay

A desperate madman knows he'll have to pay

A witness watches on with not one word to say

A universe in chaos all searching for the way

 

 

An angry God shall drive us all insane

A thirsty Earth keeps praying for the rain

A lonely spirit decides they will remain

A lover betrayed feels regret and disdain

 

 

Beauty cannot be seen through tainted eyes

That's all that it takes to ruin our lives

A broken mirror cannot reflect the truth

That's all that it takes to destroy our youth

Deteriorating are the minds of everybody

That's our self-destructing wasted society

 

 

Another fairytale turned into tragedy

Another life stolen by a conspiracy

Another believer uncovers hypocrisy

Another faithless loner is judged by everybody

 

 

A life forsaken suffering in vain

A pill is taken to numb all of the pain

An innocent child is left feeling ashamed

A crime's committed and the wrong man will be blamed

 

 

A foolish heart eager to believe

An evil mind that sets out to deceive

A soul that's lost never to be retrieved

An angel falls and cannot be redeemed

    I could hear the the melody in this piece ... almost like a symphonic metal song to the likes that could be a Nightwish song ... I enjoyed this thoroughly ...

    Loneliness ... helplessness ... wonderful breakdown of society ... I much enjoyed this, great job!

    depth

    you write so well of society and the hopelessness in which there seems to be no change for the better. lets just hope with the new election of the first black president , it will be a marker of a new chapter for everyone and this world

    Well written and a point worth writing about.So sad and heartbreaking to know that society in general has so little concern for its lost children. I hope the message here hits hard on everyone.

    This makes me think about society. Corrupt politicians, justiceless legal systems, oppressed civilians, liars and cheaters. The Earth is in pain and our nations are at war. This was a true portrait.

    Outstanding

    It is too hard to pick out a favorite line, part or feeling, you have discussed everything to everyone, you my friend have a touch for the art you profess. Deep, extremely well written, so thought provoking, one cannot help but read it again and again. No hidden messages set up to be deciphered, the message is powerful, straightforward and in your face. Fine job
