Geagte kerkraad

On a dais you sit,
Beneath we, the ember, dully lit.
There is a place where children thrive
And I too want to feel alive
Myself I want to apply
I want to raise my inferno high

Scared of spiritual debt
You seem to be inept
So please send me away
For here no longer I can stay.
Hear my pleading cries
Don’t look away, don’t shut your eyes

Your words riddled with lies
Does this really come as a surprise?
You placed this sanbenito on my back
But I refuse to colour my world black

I am not chained to the ground,
So please, sleep sound
I will soon be out of your way
That’s the thing about angel wings,
They can fly or stay

Try this on the last line "they can fly or stay"I look forward to more. The second line is very nice. Hut

I'm not sure what the title means... my afrikaans fails me here! *laughs* is it deemed consistory?

Anyway forgetting the title, I love the poem.
I especially love the second verse and then the end

That’s the thing about angel wings,
They can fly or stay

Just brilliant. I really enjoyed this and I know that it's something I'll come back to in the future.
Great write!

Thanks for all the comments! I was really nervous about this one, especially what type of response it would get.
beautifuldesaster the title is just a formal greeting to the people it was written for.
