A masterful painting
Is in a marred and broken frame
Of sin, faults and shame
A beautiful symphony
Is tainted by noise resounding
Of hateful words abounding
Eyes cannot not see
What the master has painted
Ears cannot not hear
What the composer created
But the master's work will be seen
The composer's work will be heard clearly
For the frame will be cleaned
And the noise will be removed utterly
All of creation awaits
For the liberation of the saints
When perfection will be revealed
And truths will be unsealed
Author notes
This was inspired by negative criticism I receive on some of my Christian writings which point to the faults and Christians and the Christian church. This is my answer to those criticisms.
