Mocking Angel

Like a bird in the air

He flies and struts a little

He laughs at people on earth

Without ever knowing them better

*

Hidden mockery, a word, an image

The lack of courage hidden behind a wise man

He'll forgive all your sins, even the saucy ones

At least that's what you think to live happily

*

But when the bottom of the soul is bad

Whether it's God, karma, or the universe

He's sure to bring back

This mocking angel on earth

*

And if one day the soul has its regret

Let's not take it for granted

The phoenix in the heart is reborn

And the mocking angel flies away forever.
