Given


 We are given crowns

to piecre are sins.

We are given flames

to burn the poison

that lays on are skin.

 

We are given knifes

to kill those that have

Tresspassed us.

 

We are given

Thoughts of pain

Like the flying 

Of butterflys.

 

We are given

Shame that has

Began to shame

Are loves.

 

We are given

To the palm of

God.

To deliver us.

 

But if i hardly

Have no belief.

 

What are 

We given?

 

The fruit

Of the gods

Or the water

Of the angels.

 

Are lives twisted

Like grape veins as

We taste the

Sweet wine.
