ANGELS ON EARTH
ANGELS ON EARTH
Angels are not just in heaven but on earth.
They are born as people and they live with us,
but they are completely free from hate and wrath
and they treat the people all as dearest kin.
They behold the life of heaven and feel sure
that the Lord is seen by them in people's lives.
He appears to some of those whom we despise,
proving that the stone we scorn is the main one.
All the people whom l see are full of bliss.
On their faces, l can find the love of God.
They can love and forgive all and print a smile
on their lips that eat the myrrh but show it's fine.

Take the line breaks out and you get this:
Angels are not just in heaven but on earth. They are born as **people** and they live with us, but they are completely free from hate and wrath and they treat the **people** all as dearest kin.
They behold the life of heaven and feel sure that the Lord is seen by them in people's lives. He appears to some of those whom we despise, proving that the stone we scorn is the main one.
All the people whom l see are full of bliss. On their faces, l can find the love of God. They can love and forgive all and print a smile on their lips that eat the myrrh but show it's fine.
i.e., a series of rather dull, prose declarations that, lacking any concrete sensual images have no power to bring anyone inside an experience or see anything with their eyes shut, and which contains at least one basic grammatical error (smile/that eat??) and patent diexis laden nonsense (lips not only eat, but somehow show that **the** [which?] myrrh is fine).
What's the purpose behind this piece?

Your lines:
He appears to some of those whom we despise,
proving that the stone we scorn is the main one.
recall Jesus' calling himself 'the stone that the builders rejected the same was made head of the corner'.

There are some questions that need to be answered before this piece makes sense.
1. Who are the ones among the group of people whom "we" despise?
2. Why do "we" despise them?
3. How does a person's appearing to (only) some of those those whom "we" despise prove anything about a stone?
4. main one of what?

Dear Solomon,
You are right, Solomon. Usually those who are despised are the best in the society. Thank you for your kind comment.

"Usually those who are despised are the best in the society."
You mean like Saddam Hussein?
Do you have any concrete evidence that shows your claim to be true?
