About this poem
This poem is for faithful men who display true spiritual faith from within not from a dogmatic religion who hide behind the bible. Or choose to activate their faith when it is conducive for them. Men of faith display their inner and outer faith no matter what. You can see a men's faith from their fruit not by rhetoric.
