Life I Desire

Life I Desire


Those unseen, the angels
On their daily activities
Just like we do on Earth
Simple life they lives, not taint
Always clean, no spot, always neat
No trespass, they know their worth
Not like you, no lie
Although they are sanctify
They often opt for forgiveness
They don't yield to the temptation of lost
They always humble their wings
Not like you, who always boast
No gossip on themselves
Not like you with malicious slander
I wish I could leave this world
I wish I could be one of them
To leave this world of war behind
Where hatred and killing pervade
To go to the world of peace
Where I would live a peaceful life
Peaceful life is my desire

this one seems so heartfelt, to want to be with the angels and away from this wicked warring world. Soon enough we all will be out of this world, my friend.

This world is often filled with pains and a lot of strife which we want to leave behind! How peaceful it is to wait for Paradise! Good job.

Such a beautiful poem written with such keen awareness. And one day we shall live in His Glory as such. And I too can't wait! But know there is work here to be done and many who might miss out. But oh how those Angels swirl about our days! God Bless You Afolbi!
