Why do angels come down in summer
Like eagles swooping down from heaven,
Snatching a woman in her sleep,
A toddler floating in a pool,
An infant and a dog in a hot car,
A family of four in a van,
(Crushed by a truck in the wrong lane.
Was the driver hypnotized by a mirage?)
And a man under a train?
(Did he fall into a swoon under the torturous sun?)
And off they go with their preys,
Tightly clutched in their merciless talons,
Souls to offer to their gods
And save from this parched land.
