When Angels Deserve To Die
Radiant
Beams of sunlight
Through
A lonely window
Puddles
Of blood
And
Mangled bodies
Souls
A place
No sunlight
Could ever reach
I cry
When angels deserve
To die
Massacre after massacre
My tears
Have fallen
Toxicity
Corrupts the foundation
Everything
Comes crumbling down
But
Nothing is done
To stop it
And I am so tired
of moments of silence
So tired
Of being scared
To walk out of my house
Not knowing
If I will become a statistic
I cry
When angels don't deserve
To die
But they keep dying
And
We keep lying
And denying
The reasons it keeps happening
Rain
Tap dances across my windowpane
Emotionally
I am defeated
Spiritually
I am desecrated
Mentally
I am defiant
I won't cry
When angels deserve to die
Because
I will fight
To make sure they never
Die again
