An Angel's Anthem

An angel's anthem

A dark night
Filled with rain,
Angels stand in rows
As a commander screams,
Perfectly still
They stand.

Awaiting the final word
Of this lecture,
Water drops
Hit their beautiful skin.

The commander looks
At his soldiers,
A smile cracks on his face
As he yells for attention.

Heels click together
Hands to their head,
Their voices boom together
As the commander dismisses them,
Into war they head.
