For A Lady I Know

She even thinks that up in heaven Her class lies late and snores, While poor black cherubs rise at seven To do celestial chores. From this poem, I pictured a young girl's ignorance to the rest of the world. I remember conjuring silly ideas of angels and heaven. My siblings would tell me they used to say when they were young that when it rained it was because the angels were taking a shower, and when they heard thunder it was because the angels were bowling, the sound the bowling ball would make when it crashed into the pins was what they compared to thunder. So for this poem I imagined a young girl imagining that an angel's life was much like her own. The black cherubs part I thought might have been a symbolism for oppression of black people, if this poem was during that time period it might be a play on how on a plantation, the white owners would sleep in while their slaves would get up early to go work.
