honours
by Olli Savolainen

For we live in a world
where virginity
carries no value 
other than for the pleasure of minds
of the perverted
For we live in a world
where a man can kill 
another ...
with a sword, with a dagger
or a raindrop
live long and prosper
For this world
every single one of us
is willing to live
willing to die

And the very next day,
she asked me:
"is something the matter my love?"
Is something
the matter?

In his own words: I know the truth is in Jesus and I can see the work of God's hands in the world. These sentences may be speculated time and time again, but at the end of the day there's only one thing to say - the Truth is a matter of belief. Jesus Christ died for our sins so we are forgiven everything. Still, living with my Lord also means dedicating my life to trying to follow His rules.
