When Angels Die
The heavens shook..
The slaughter of the innocents
have reached the throne
of love
And there was a great silence
in heaven..
A terrible blight has blackened
the skies of this lower world
A cry has gone throughout
the land
A mother weeping for her
children, 'for they are not'
A father lays prostrate for
he has no strength to stand
A nation agasp for the evil
that has visited the land
Tiny hands and magical smiles
have vanished in the night
And there was found no place
in the oceans for all the tears
The very stones cry out.. when
angles die..
The slaughter of the innocents
have reached the throne
of love
And there was a great silence
in heaven..
A terrible blight has blackened
the skies of this lower world
A cry has gone throughout
the land
A mother weeping for her
children, 'for they are not'
A father lays prostrate for
he has no strength to stand
A nation agasp for the evil
that has visited the land
Tiny hands and magical smiles
have vanished in the night
And there was found no place
in the oceans for all the tears
The very stones cry out.. when
angles die..

This powerful yet gentle cry of despair will touch all who read it.
Bill
want to draw out to deeply the terrible wounds which have
devasted those closest to this unspeakable tragedy.
in the oceans for all the tears
The very stones cry out.. when
angles die.."
Yes; the very stones cry out when angels die. I belive that. I deeply feel that.
the laws of the heart..of dancing on the
fringes of anything deemed sacred..Websters
dictionary has no clear definition of God and
society is sticking to its guns..and so will the
next school killer.
justice to the sound of gunfire that rang through
the halls of that school.. no outsiders reflection
can know or hear the crys of grief and loss that
every parent is weighed down with at this very
moment..but thank you darling.
were men who were perhaps men ahead
of their time in a special sense...but lovers
and reformers always have been. Perhaps
there is in this world an unwritten 'law', that
says,'If you're a lover you must die.'
Every person sensible to the principalities
of a sound an healthy society will sooner or
later be confronted with where they truly
stand on the sanctity of life...'Does it evolve
from the ground upward..or from heaven
downward..
and the lamb may have lions teeth.
by both mortals and devils..Thank you
darling..
