Celestial Guardians
Angels are watching over you, Singing you to sleep They wipe your tears on the bad days, Pat your shoulder on the good They aren’t all powerful But they try their best to protect us Not everyone heeds the angels Some souls being so pained that Not even angelic voices can cure their sorrows AngelsContinue reading “Celestial Guardians”
The Eagle
Land of the free Locked in chains Be who you want to be Keep your personality reigned An abundance of pathways Only one is right The good, American way Others feared like the night Hypocrisy of a nation An eagle flying free But in the presence of the news station Terror stricken on their knees
