ANGELS

We all have a take on angels
I happen to be one
A human angel
It is a good feeling
There is not a list of responsibilities
What I do comes naturally or angel-wise
As a human I take the hand of Jesus
As an angel I take others’ hands
They don’t realize it, but certain struggles 
They have call for this action and
They are helped in a good, timely way

When I am holding the hand of Jesus,
I thank Him for allowing me to open up
He never responds in any way
Still I know I am doing the right thing

Often I am called an angel
I can only say thank you
I am thankful for the honor
Sometimes I think of the cross
Heavy wood causing stress and pain
Even to the point of falling 
The Bearer in exhaustion

I think of my angel wings
They are also heavy and can cause 
Inflammation in my shoulders and arms
I gladly suffer this pain, 
While being very proud of 
The correlation between the two

I have free will as an angel or human. 
Just as with everyone else 
It comes with responsibility
I accept it willingly and am
Thankful for the trust placed in me

WOEFUL CONDITION

What is wrong with these blacks?
Where can they possibly go?
Always exist with one eye open
Too bright to let it be closed
Pushed to the back of the bus
Told they were the lowest of us

Many rose above destiny
Like Rosa Parks, would you not agree?
Lived lives which made them proud
Still many waited below the clouds
Depression, suppression, and no jobs
Low income housing cursed them out loud
 
Government programs came to relieve
Only capped potential so it seemed
Trillions poured into relief
Made conditions worse is my belief
Government pay off to remain quiet
Just the opposite occurred --- terrible riots

Stay single, receive larger checks
Family breakdowns, potential is wrecked
I hear applause, this is the truth
To listen and agree, nothing to lose
They have told me:  their eyes are not shut
Enduring condition is not what they strut

Educational need acknowledged, 
So, too, parental enhancement
Individual pride preached 
The pride to advancement
My eyes are open and I saw their need
Help the down trodden has become my creed
