“red paint”

bloody saints display a sorrowful gaze

cry into the night to cry into the day

arms opened wide to embrace the sadness

that passes daily on the streets below

but no one pays attention

as if they need to know!

the beauty of spirituality

what’s mine is yours

the beauty of togetherness

let’s all sing along

to repent shouldn’t cost a dime

to learn is never a waste of time

knowledge goes a long way if you listen to all sides

only closed minds force human kind to divide
