His Wide Arms

We live in a world shaped into an 
inverted pyramid.
A world where wrong is painted true
And evil is displayed as the greatest 
good,
It’s a world at the very brink of 
insanity.

A world so tough, for those whose 
garments are white, to bear with
And it is so effortless to get stained 
with the nearby oily hands.
Hands whose ways are so repulsive 
and thoughts ill at ease
Even to those dwelling in skin the 
same.

These are people whose frames are 
frail and prone to fail.
People so hard to control and are 
drawn to what they can smell.
They usually live for the moments 
and don’t consider the effects.
Winked at and rejected by the few 
ones sane.

Yet, he whose name is holy loves 
them so much.
He waits patiently, winks at all their 
errors
And welcomes them; even those 
with the grimmest garments.
Such level of love my brain is yet to 
comprehend much
