    *I came across this today, wrote it a few years ago but it is still one of my favorites, probably because of its personal meaning for me.

    SIRENS & ANGELS

    Red & Blue flashes in the night,
    Screams & Crashes
    Crowds & Whispers
    Angels are watching

    Blood coverd Kitchen,
    Knife in the sink
    Phone laying off hook & tears on faces
    Angels stand by

    Needles and viles,
    Theft and lies
    Alcohol and depression...
    Angels take flight

    Hospitals & Medicine,
    Jails and fear
    disease and pain,
    Heartache...
    Angels Pity

    A rocking chair,
    A drive by shooting,
    Bullets piercing Through walls,
    Screams in the night, She would have been dead
    Angels never sleep

    Rape and murder,
    Terror in sleep
    nightmares, scars
    dark shadows travel fast,
    Angels work mysteriously

    Death and hysteria,
    Sadness and regret...
    Angels allow peace through reason

    Fighting and yelling,
    crying and hurting...
    This horror we call life isnt all for nothing

    God sent the Angels and they make themselves known if only we listen,
    I saw the light...
    I finally realized it was me.

    Not exactly my cup of tea, I would run a spellcheck over it before I sent it to anybody though.

    I really like it. I love the way in the first few verses the evil lines balance with the good lines
    ( as in : Blood coverd Kitchen,
    Knife in the sink
    Phone laying off hook & tears on faces
    Angels stand by)

    The way at the end of the verses the last line depicts a kind of hope. I really like that.

    The poem is simple but provocative, full of really bold imagery.I think it's a great poem

    good job
