The Hero and Angels


Haileab Asegedom found himself 
transformed in a monstrous black beetle
It hurt to see our parents struggle 
People always mistreated the Angels 
Because the Angels never looked liked Angels 
He said we should always treat them kindly because the are sent by God
Because the most unsightly beetles are sent from heaven 
He said a heart that sees Angels, a lifelong inspiration
We wanted to help them someday
He said a small act of kindness can become tomorrow's whirlwind of human progress

He might still be a hero
Tragic and flawed he might be
We have often thought of you
We look towards the heavens, your true home
Because you are but a visiter here
