The Way We Are

Insecurity, insecurity,
wasted lives, wounded lives
scattered limbs
smear my breakfast
As my guardian angel partook
In my sudden flight to eternity.

Along our streets,
They toy with our lives,
Our lives purchased with
blood of our forebears.

My guardian angel
turns a tormentor
As am wasted
amidst their watch
amidst their watch
my dawn descend with
a looping half-smile.

Insecurity,
insincerity
among my angels of watchers
As hoodlums turn us inside out
Seeking blood
seeking to loot
Yet my angels,
hands akimbo watch.

~Emeka Chike Nwogu~June,2005~

The messengers of God keep us from self destruction. Strongly expressed in the use of your words here.

sometimes our angels watch our reaction to how we deal with their non-reaction ...

excellent write ... the mood of this poem blends me right into it ...

A bitter but true portrayal of allegiance and trust betrayed. A difficult thing in this world to reach out for the hand of angel only to discover it has a fondness for the demonic. A very powerful poem here.

I suppose our guardian angels do show us the path - its up to us to choose and decide on which path to take - against our neighbours, friends and enemies alike. Great one, Emeka!!

God bless,

Sandie.

Very profound signs of the struggle you go through in your nation.
I fear that we are all living under the threats of unrest now Emeka!
Prayer is more necessary than ever,because we question why we seem to get no help.It's hard to remember this world is only temporary when it is all we know.Hard to imagine the eternal when suffering.
Blessings to you and yours,
Eileen

emeka, this is great...I guess our angels can't always interfere...which makes me wonder what they can and can't do
