Below is a poem by Joshua Hitching regarding a guest he let stay over for 2 months when kindness was only on his heart and he got taken advantage of by someone smart in the art of seduction that didn't work but was cleverly devised to make someone like the author not wise or wealthy or secure in enterprise. The image Represents the Church's Teardrops and Jesus's Sacrifice to bring joy and Light in Darkness felt in every darkest night.

With Paper Cuts
And Cuts from Rice
The Abundance of bread is the price
Of us acting nice
When Kindness is the absence of nice
And what is Just and Right
Jesus Paid the Price
To Everyone With The Grains
Of Their Mind Firing
Into Rewind
Trying to have a do-over
When we never needed a makeover
But to see ourselves with new eyes
Into new windows
Not the kind that crashes
Or breaks
Or is patented by chance
The kind that is free for all to use
The Glass that hides behind a mirror makes it brand
New
New Even For If but anyone Gentile or Jew
The Law is not what sustains us
Grace is
So how can we say presumptuously we can all manage to pay the price
Of Sin's Many Grains Of Rice
On our Mind
Playing Rewind
On the Devil's Telly
Though he doesn't Tell what's on his mind
Even to God
Though God Knows Every Blemish and what is on the heart
Of Even the devil smoking his dart
So how are we to know what is on everyone's heart?
When We Don't even know we are supposed to be
Set apart
And That my Kind Friends Allies and People
What is the new art
Love in all it's fashion
For Our Neighbor
Enemy
And Everyone in between
Make no mistake between you me and the unseen
Patronizing the Enemy is not what I mean
Though Having Discussion
Discourse
And Intellectual Back and
Forth
Into New Worlds Of Understanding
And Standing One's Ground on our love for Jesus
Because God is Love and Love is God
But how can we know where shone the light?
Except in the darkness of night
One day everything will be so bright
No Darkness in any corner in sight
And that will be the day...
We have reached Heaven even for a day at a new height.
Take no fright
Sleep well at night
Heaven's army is in sight
It's just you and me God tonight!
