Down Here On The Ground

 

 

These tarnished white wings of mine

Are getting old, they are much stained with time

 

No longer are they able to fly

No longer can I glide through the skies

 

Now I have to stay immobile here on the ground

And it tears me apart,

The people here are always putting me down

 

They are so ugly, their faces stern and black

To sit on the gentle clouds, how I wish I could go back

 

But these people, they make me who I am

An angel whose wings are stuck in the sand

This is a good poem, depicting the tragedy of once innocence turning into the disease of depravity that surrounds it. The last verse, to me, would sound better if the wings were "buried" in the sand instead of stuck.

Couldn't agreed more, the word change would make all the difference.

Good piece though.

I think I understood this, it could have a different meaning for all who read it. To me it was about an Angel who is watching over us, but the ugliness of man has wieghed her down. Liked it regardless of your intentions
