Saints and Sinners



Saints and Sinners
The smile is broad
But the heart is bile

an outstretched hand is birthed
from a saintly pouch
But alas, such as richly coated 
but with a shortened desire
 
A frail passion 
A flinty heart 
devoid of piety
thus encapsulated 
within a virtuous being 
Whereby Enrobing both saints and sinners
