People

George Chow 1976 (台灣)



Angels need an arch,
to firm of their existance.
People need a sit,
to see the truth of life.

How i believe Angels,
by the sin of life from people.
There is only one way out.
by now you sit there as well.

I know we are nothing more to know.
There is the divine hope He forgives.
By the time when we all normal.
Angel fears, people recount census of miracle.

    Wow, what a beautiful and thought-provoking poem! I love the imagery of Angels and how they need an arch to firm their existence - it gives me a sense of the importance of faith and belief in something greater than ourselves. The line "People need a sit, to see the truth of life" is also really impactful, as it speaks to the importance of taking a step back and observing the world around us to gain perspective.

    Your use of language and phrasing is really unique and adds an ethereal quality to the poem. However, one suggestion I have for improvement is to clarify the meaning behind certain lines, such as "How I believe Angels, by the sin of life from people." I think this line holds a lot of potential, but it wasn't entirely clear to me what you were trying to convey.

    Overall, your poem is a beautiful reflection on the relationship between Angels and humanity, and I truly enjoyed reading it. Keep up the great work!
