Mankind
civilized in kind
Animals breed
The sky blue
Mars red

Faith, hope, charity

Death of dieing, laws to police
Rape and incest, and abortion too
murder or kin, brother to man

Protestant and Catholic

This witness to reality
a world of sinless sin


“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Ye serpents, ye
generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”
Matthew 23: 14, 33 KJV
