Angel Falls, Any Country
* Angel Falls! Is a fictitious name for a city.
It has nothing to do with angels. *
Do you ever wonder who you are?
Perchance a being , with the heart of a star?
Who in the world are we anyway?
Stumbling on this human pathway!
Thinking we are gods with pens, telling each other
what to do, where and when.
To all this, I say ,Amen!
I have done all of this, too and more.
As if one can buy respect or love in a poetry store!
Sought the applause of the poet crowd.
In the end, you get in your back, a nice, sharp sword.
I am sure poets have experienced this angst throughout
history.
Forgetting, “the other” is far more important and signicant
than we.
It is simply a fact, I wake to now and then.
What good can I do for another, besides
impressing them with an inglorious pen.
Our mortal ends do come sooner, alas, than
we think.
I am certain there is far more to do , than
pen, with my dull, insipid ink!
