Angels

Heedless of rejection standard smile ever so sweet, childhood void of substance youth lost in everlasting grief. It is not from choice to serve the world’s ancient art, although somewhat obliging never, with an amorous heart. Learning curves to encounter street wise evolves the trick, cloned to procure all-comers remembered the wall, to build of solid brick. Within the glow of hopeful themes upon the road side where they reside, some locked in obscure dreams under a solitary lamp light. Whilst amidst the affluent of their craft a class of high distinction, content to work the street of pure gold ne’er cast an eye on those that bear the bar-code of extinction. So soon a whiter shade of pale for alas a fallen Angel, forgotten now her love was her fame for society is unforgiving, spreads the word across the social media of shame. © Harry J Horsman 2017

"If not for the grace...." I never say never, and almost always think first to understand and comfort. Love needs to be practiced even in a traffic-jam. So many great lines in this one, Harry. Splendid read! Perfect!

What a beautiful poem you have penned exposing the social media, which is too busy to take care of fallen Angels. This is happening almost everywhere in the world dear friend Harry. Sorry that I am not regular on PS but PS has not entertained my bank draft of 2 years fee of Premium membership I sent from India in June 2017 nor they returned back my bank draft. So I decided to carry these two years time silently, while only causally visiting on PS. Hope you are fine dear friend. l&bw.. Ravindra.

I'm not ashamed to say, I've known a few personally. I don't pay attention to social media. We do what we must to survive. Excellent pen, Harry.

Excellent piece my friend with such a wonderful message. Many are not there by choice but because of circumstances beyond their control. A fine write . Good luck in the contest. God Bless, JB Sorry I haven't been around to return reviews or submit poems. Eye sight getting worse and awaiting surgery. Go in for glaucoma surgery on the 15th and will find out then when they will do my cataracts. Your prayers will be most appreciated. JB :)
