SWEET FALLEN ANGELS

Sweet fallen angels. You have no benefit of any doubt
Cos no one spoke for you,
No one stopped for you.
No one said a little prayer as they laid you down in your graves.
Death with no dignity;
All along the road.

No more fiery marbles as the headlights catch your eyes.
No golden glints as the sun begins to rise.
And for all the endless preening that I bet you did before,
Your torn coats shine like silk no more.

Yesterday was sunshine but I guess you felt no heat.
Today it rains so hard, it bounces round your feet
There’s so many of you, oh but you all lie alone
In dirt dust, flesh blood and bone.

There’s death between the trees as we slice through the glen.
Millions of murders and yet no requiem.
Flies fleas and bumble bees are dying every day.
Heaven help anything in our way.

It’s all in the name of transport. Points a to b.
Just cut it down be it a mountain or a tree.
Fast fast and faster oh and care not what will die
Just pass it by.

For all the furs and feathers we’ve scattered on the way.
I’m lost for words. I don’t know what to say.
Although we broke your bodies I hope you felt no pain.
You’ll never feel our cruel hand again.
