When in
school I was sent to a prayer gathering once,
They thought
it would change some of my ways hence.
And around
me, each Bible had page and pages inked in red
My lines of
black on white, well, looked kind of dull and dead.
So that
night, inspired, with red ink and rule
I underlined
pages till my fingers turned blue.
Years later,
back home, I found that Bible one bright holiday morn,
Standing out
in red were chapters from the Song of Solomon.
