A candle shrouded in darkness
Sin
To be born under dim stars is to sin A sin greater than murder or rape, As thieves and assassins live more free, Takers of innocence hold less burden In a world where law values salt greater Paladins may throw copper in the streets But they keep charity for their own ranks Even at the cost of beauty lost, They chance not the anger of their gods, To be poor is the greatest sin of all
Experience a poetic life story that explores human emotion from child-like wonder to love and despair as the reader progresses through the original chapters "The birth of beauty in the mind," "Living on the Edge," "Falling forever into the great destiny of life," "To the end of grace and the fall from a beautiful day," and "Descending deeper and deeper into the American nightmare," plus the all new "Lost Chapter."
