Martos Period 1 English Caesura : a pause in several lines of a
poem. Often looks like this : II
THE ANGEL
The eyes of a boy II slowly falling
Tears within his eyes II slowly losing hope
Life was not worth it II or so he says
All the pain that dwells within
For it is death that awaits him II "pop" goes the bottle of
Aspirin
"Wait!" goes a voice II silently whispering in his mind
The voice sings a song of Love II of Hope
And all the things life brings.
The boy drops to his knees II silently sobbing
For it was the melodic voice II who saved his life.
The Angel II whom is long pass due
Has answered his prayers II the Angel of Hope
The Message: the poem is of a little boy,
who always prayed by his bedside on bended knee. Every night he
prayed for the bullies to leave him alone, his parents to stop
fighting, his brother to stop picking on him, and for his dog to stop
fiercely barking at him. But the Angel he prayed for did not appear.
Two years later, the boy is 7 years old. The angel still has not
appeared. He loses all belief in God and the powerful angels that God
holds. Everything has gotten worse. His parents divorced, his brother
separated and put into a different foster care home, he, himself was
put in a foster care where everyone disliked him, and most of all, he
begun looking to suicide. 1 year later, the boy is 8 years old. He is
about to commit a full suicide attempt through overdosing Aspirin.
And finally, his Angel of Hope has appeared to save him. This little
boy, only 8 years old, has suffered through more than any 8 year old
ever should.
