Angel Shoes

I know the angels are a’dancing –
I hear their little shoes.
Even when we hurt our friends –
With the words we choose.
Despite the awful wars we fight –
Where we kill our brothers.
Even though our babies cry –
When cursed by angry mothers.
We never stop enough to think –
Of anybody else.
We sit around and watch T.V. –
While pitying ourselves.
We eat enough to feed a bird –
And throw the rest away –
While there’re children everywhere –
Starving every day.
We take our lives –
With guns and knives.
We pretend like we don’t care.
We forget about our towers –
And the pain we felt –
We once watched a couple hours –
While our heroes went through hell.
But even though it never changes –
Just listen to the news –
I know the angels are a’dancing –
I hear their little shoes.
