Poem

by Isabel Sandone

get on your knees and pray

we shall place our palms on your forehead

and use this holy water

to cleanse you

from your sins

open your hearts

for the heavens above

keep your faith

and keep on praying

for a fast path

to your redemption

if you stay on your road

you will find yourself

burning in the flames

and learning to love the fire
