Nefarious Faces

Nefarious faces with pale cheeks, dulling your senses with narcotics; and dangerously staring at others whose clement destiny isn't called squalid poverty, or negligible neediness... All can be spared by the dint of astuteness, making amends and becoming social; you can be an atheist or an ungodly person: you all deserve an assuring look of compassion, to give up your attitude of indifference, believing in yourself and forgetting every fault... Nefarious faces of rapists and assassins, you assail blameless and innocent people without mercy, and in their hurt and blood you express your atrocity; Cain acted out of jealousy, you act out of madness by vindicating an amatory act and a deprivation of wealth that were never granted by an insensitive society... Come and drink of the water of holiness, to purify your atrocious minds and your sinful souls: turn to the Lord Jesus who forgives anyone who's willing to repent, and be born again; salvation is closer than you ever thought, it cleanses your impure hearts with merciful love...
