Stigmata


Why must the world make us afraid?

We transform love into a stigmata

Then say people need to love more

We shame others for their beauties

Then we always act so suprised

When their wonders fade away

And are gone forever from the world 

We fear the judgment of our own kind

And we hide ourselves away

And the distance between us grows

Yet our own kind is still to blame
