Italian style

We were so good,

we,

to exhume the bodies of saints to 

make money and spending them in favor of 

those whom has shaped with wax a face,

stitched his dress,

built glass case and

an inlaid golden coffin to shine and show its glow

forever and ever.

Spent to bury those whom,

with their hands have believed,

digging in the earth,

moving the debris of time and touching

what that time had contaminated,

they hoped to be considered innocents

after they had sinned so much.

Because it is difficult to distinguish a sinner

from a saint.

Unless,

left the spade,

one non-string in his hands the money

offered to him by another that,

in the eyes,

has the glow of gold.
