I feel like an angel <br />On a lifetime parole. <br />Not sent here to live <br />But just sent to console. <br /> <br />There are other life forms <br />From every planet to see. <br />Theres nothing we can discuss <br />They all seem not to know me. <br /> <br />My friends misunderstand me <br />They crucify my ways. <br />I'm sure I'm not on my own <br />Cause I do everything and obey. <br /> <br />I feel like an angel <br />On a jeopardizing parole. <br />With a hard lifetime sentence <br />I can't get no control. <br /> <br />I tried to explain <br />The problems that worry me. <br />But this dude cut me short <br />Said ain't nothing free. <br /> <br />Where do angels go <br />When they just don't fit in? <br />Do they return home to God <br />And then be sent back again? <br /> <br />I feel like and angel <br />On a real stale parole. <br />I know I must be lost. <br />People here even get old. <br /> <br />When is my draft up? <br />I'd rather be serving time. <br />Where at least I'd be peaceful <br />Problems wouldn't be on my mind. <br /> <br />Oooh! When will these spirits <br />Reach from heart to heart? <br />But whats so sad about it <br />No one is willing to start. <br /> <br />I feel like an angel <br />On the world for parole. <br />The shape this world is in <br />It hurts me to my soul. <br /> <br />If only a few of us <br />Would agree on one thing <br />It wouldn't make it so hard <br />For a fellow to earn his wings. <br /> <br />Sometimes I think its better <br />To just leave it all alone. <br />But no matter how hard it is <br />I got to work my way back home. <br /> <br />I feel like an angel <br />On a lifetime parole. <br />And until its all over <br />I'll be here to console.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angel-on-parole/
