People on the street

The night is holy
But the streets are not reverent

The night is holy
But strife runs through the city

Acts of violence
Committed
Without care.
The will of the flesh
Is stronger
Than the will
Of the heart.

The night is holy
But there’s no peace
In our homes,
On the streets
In the world

The night is holy
But the streets are not reverent
