"FALLING ANGELS" FALL on your KNEES HEAR the angels CRYING CRY into your HANDS WATCH the angels FALLING look up to the heavens see the angels falling down sky is now blackened injured angels crash into the groun’ our hands covered in blood for we slaughtered the innocent ones God’s society is crumbling to pieces Human society has now won FALL on your KNEES HEAR the angels CRYING CRY into your HANDS WATCH the angels FALLING do you see what we have done do you see the disaster that lay ahead moaning sea angels grasp at you ankles some are still living but most are dead have you forgot what they’ve done for you did you forget about when they helped you along why do you slaughter the innocent angels what could they have possible done so wrong FALL on your KNEES HEAR the angels CRYING CRY into your HANDS WATCH the angels FALLING they serve and protect you but as soon as they need you, you slaughter their souls now they are laying on the ground beaten you’ve torn them apart ‘til their no longer whole what will you do without them by your side to guide and protect you down the right path no help leads to confusion, leads to panic, leads to chaos, leads to disaster by humans; you do the math FALL on your KNEES HEAR the angels CRYING CRY into your HANDS WATCH the angels FALLING the end of the world is near and you’re left with the blood stained hands its not Gods fault for human stupidity you wanted to join together and make a "stand" so take blame for your stupidity take a look at what you have done get on your knees and bow down to God and praise what once used to be the sun FALL on your KNEES HEAR the angels CRYING CRY into your HANDS WATCH the angels FALLING By: Dana Samples 5-14-01 sorry i haven't written in awhile |

One powerful piece of writing... its true, we do disrepect and even forget about the gentle and loving powers that guide us from day to day. You paint this disturbing picture well. Thanks for sharing. "Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel."-Machiavelli |

Dana, this definitely provoked some thoughts in my head. One thing I thought was a bit distracting for me was having the "FALL on your KNEES HEAR the angels CRYING CRY into your HANDS WATCH the angels FALLING" section in with the rest of the poem. Perhaps you might like to try seperating it and making it an italics section. Because it seems to be a crucial part of the poem, really emphasising it's importance could be the missing bit in the piece. Just an opinion. Nice work too. ~AF~ Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed. |

I liked it, but I didn't much like the way the repetition was written. That's only my opinion. ANyway I enjoyed this poem. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

I thought this was a really powerful one too! I just thought that the repetition was emphasized the wrong way. I think it would look and sound better in italics also. I don't know. I just felt like the repetition took over the poem. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome piece of work! Definately in my library! Keep it up! Rhonda "Who did that?" "Charlie and Blake." "Who's Charlie and Blake?" "Rhonda and Amy.""Great. There goes the school." |
