Angel Maker

Small bodies with no tombstones Glazed eyes Lungs heaving breaths So shallow Deemed dead By severe neglect Hard labor conviction A slap on the wrist Starvation Mother's friend hastens death Strangulation White edging tape wound around their fragile necks Angel maker Takes the souls of the small Angle maker Takes the children no one wanted Haunted by chronic nightmares of them Relentless tugging at her sleeves Their screams persist throughout the night And the soulless infants weep Suffocation Drowned in the washtub Asphyxiation Burned remains in the wood stove Angel maker Take the souls of the small Angel maker Takes the children no one wanted No guilt no remorse Sociopathic cold facing the gallows with nothing to say Starved, strangled, drowned, hidden burned No guilt no remorse Foster mothers Of death Angle maker Takes the souls of the small Angle maker Takes the children no one wanted Angel maker Takes the souls of the small Angel maker Takes the children no one wanted Angel maker Angel maker
