I like the ideas of angels waiting for judgement day as others may. But time passes by faster for them, and in hoping to see any change in people some become bitter and disillusioned. But then, how would that affect their entrance back into Heaven? I can only wonder..

The angel works the tollbooth
Exclaiming commands for change
They are a barber on the side
with faded tattoo arms
Holding shears made of fire
coated in silent pious rage
Hiding blood in their thermos
Waiting for a Judgement day
