Of Sanctuaries and Cities

Sanctuary, a sacred place
        Holy, Holy, Holy
     where worshipers reach 
        for the heavens

     Sanctuary city, anarchy and chaos
        crowded, unsanitary conditions
     tempers flare, a taste of hell and Hades
        no place for the spirit, for gentlemen or ladies

The last line speaks volumes. It is a very angry, chaotic World, sadly. Gershon.

Thanks for the praise on this one, Shirley. It's getting uglier by the day, unfortunately.
