She Wears Her Black Wings With Pride
She wears her black wings with pride
Where once they were a brilliant white
Now they are dark as night.
She has traveled the mortal realm
Helping men, women and children
Anyway she can.
This world being so dark and twisted
Her wings began to tarnish
She doesn't want her white wings back.
She wears her black wings
As a four star general would
They are a badge of honor.
She has fought humanties wars
For centuries untold
At one time an innocent.
Now she is a warrior
Who will take down any opponent
She has transformed, she is magnificent.
She wears her black wings with pride
They show she is alive
That she has persisted through the war.
Her black wings her medals
Nothing can harm her
Not any little devil.
So take a good look at this angel
And remember those black wings
Mean danger.

It reminds me of one of my favorite books;
What happened to lani graver. Specificly these quotes
He says you don't often find angels in places like happy homes and rich people's backyard parties. He says that angels flock to places like hospitals and homelss shelters and jails, because those people realize they need help. And do they are able to believe in strange phenomena. Funny how the world is backward. The really comfortable people don't always see much supernaturally, and to the ones who have to struggle, it's, like, breathing in their faces. The first are last... and the last are first.
If people knew who the angels were, they would be very nice when they saw one and would still do their same evil garbage when they thought none were around. Knowing who they are defeats the purpose.
Carol Plum-Ucci,
Its a stunning piece. 🌹
