An Angel on Earth

mimpi
Look there -
Who's that obscure man?
Fervently digging out debris
Debris of carcasses, cadavers, flesh and blood
Pulling out a pounding heart, a still fresh soul
Look at his arms -
Still oozing red from the merciless concrete
Eyes half dead, frail as a skeleton, clothes none at all
And a heart, still a bleeding one
Bleeding for the new life under the debris
One more life to save and he would get death
'Buy a life get death free', he smiles -
An evangelical smile
Who is he?

Angels are here on earth
Angels are among us
You could be one.
