the stink, homeless man, <br />five days same clothes, <br />no way to bathe... <br />vomit crusted hunger, <br />piss, and garbage rolled..... <br /> <br />the perfume of God. <br /> <br />angry, bruised, scared, <br />face hollow, lips tremble.... <br />love's fists, used, abused, <br />she walks the corner, alone.... <br /> <br />the daughter of God. <br /> <br />crack pipe, stolen gun, <br />fear rush, dead despair, <br />concrete jungle, wrong color, <br />wrong place, wrong time, <br />prison bound, unmarked grave, <br />mother cries, justice lies.... <br /> <br />the son of God. <br /> <br />stolen tent, hard rain, <br />under the bridge, under scope, <br />no work, no food, babies cry, <br />mothers tears, hard stare, <br />small fire, past the edge, <br />old car, out of gas.... <br /> <br />the family of God.<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/holiness-stripped-naked/
