Faith… Said an Angle
Faith… Said the Pope
Faith… Said the Pundit

Down the Ganges,
To the bereaved soul

Faith… Said the Politician
Faith… Said the General
Faith… Said the President

To the Masses He sold

Faith… Said a mother
Faith… Said a teacher
Faith… Said a gang leader

To the child yet to grow

Faith… Said the Boss
Faith… Said the Company
Faith… Says the Papers

To people around the world

But where is FAITH?

Perhaps she ran away with Hope,
When love died in our Hearts,
To a place I still don’t know

Faith… Said an Angle……..
