The Little Angel
Quenching my thirst
from the river that would flood
I walked inside the green lush
that was still untouched
loner as i was,vagabond they named
devoured whatever i could,my everyday game
marooned and castaway
stealing and scrapping kept the hunger at bay
I carried my body
away from the town's deputy
under the protection of forest
I uncovered my little heist
the evergrowing growling to shut
with a slice of the bread down my gut
when the dinner was done,the log burnt
pulled onto my face,the filthy vest
I drifted to the slumber's chest
woken me the loud wail
and I lost the sleep's trail
I opened my eyes,saw a little child
innocence so sweet,hide so white
as if the bright day light
like a little angel,a baby born of heaven's womb
fallen down, sitting on his mother's tomb
"be gone thee brat
find a different land
to whimper and wet"
I barked in all might
"be gone little child"
harsh as were my words
deep torn my own heart
blind wished my eyes
to not to see his plight
deaf wished my ears
not another melancholy to hear
algid wished my blood
not with empathy to flood
I turned away my sight
and cursed the world one more time
but the weepings were strong
at once i wished to halt, whatever went wrong
"weep no more, dear child
the world is so full of vice
here!take my day's earn
fill up your tummy
believe me,i can't bring back your mommy"
astonished,he glanced at me once and then twice
stopped his cry,crawled near me like the mice
"I weep not for mother or food
this plight is yours given
The Father is sad seeing you broken
he cast me aside
'cause i was not able to guide
rusted as your soul is
known nothing but to hate and scorn"
"so i relinquished your pace
thought, you were a lost case
and another soul under my wings to keep
I flew up to submit your fate
but He was disappointed
some of thee and some with me
He,the master, never abandons his child
he gave you worthy hands
not to snatch away like rogue's band
he gave you head,studded with mind
to think and answers to find"
"you and me,we both are bound
work hard, sooner or later reward found
today I cast away my ethereal veil
to tell you no matter you fail
never give up,entrain every sail"
then he whispered in my ears
"the braves are rewarded with kindness
mistakes are forgiven
remember! never ever break"
thanking for the bread,he rose in all might
sweet innocent child with wings so bright
pale i was
difference between dream and reality lost
back to the town I fell down
to the sacred ground
and threw the stolen to the hound
and one day I found what I could do
when on the street corner I drew
picture so beautiful as they said
changed my fate
called me gifted mate
so today i sit under a roof
playing with my instincts
and hang on the wall
is "the little angel's fall".
