SanctuaryWhere the truths of joy shine bright
Where the power within shows the way
The path is walked upon with patience
Paved by the will of acceptance and forgiveness

To respect the true nature
To understand who we are
What we are, an how we came to be
We are the product of our enviroment
In everyway you can imagine

Global powers are failing
The age of the mind begins
A new era of peace and tranquility
Beyond the pain of judgement
The suffering of impulsive action

Money is the tool which stagnates us all
Greed in the being inwhich weilds it
It binds us all to its will

The promise of paradise
That turning tricks was only temporary

All my friends have forgotten me
Surrounded by warmth and family
Now on my street corner I stand
Lonely and cold

This is amazing! How did you get those colors and keep the rest black and white? Darkroom work is fun, but tough.
