Angels in Disguise

uncertainty unease
wraps around like a wet cold blanket
seeking for warmth
in these dark streets
strangers
coins thrown
like peanuts at the zoo
litter thrown around by the breeze
night skys tremble
and threaten rain
paper walls
to protect living souls
innocence is drawn away
confusion to describe it
repulsion to deny it
let us drift away
unheard unseen
forgotten in these streets
shadows to walk on
trip over
cast aside
gaze upon us
survivors in this repulsive race
human to the core
basics back in order
reacting to the chaos
refusing to wonder
what may have been
what could be
live love
be happy
but remember
and be thankful
we are the saints you dont see
the ones you dont remember
the reminder when your forgetful
to be grateful
and thankful
for food
for water
for sturdy walls
we are angels in disguise
