A HOUSE BUILT ON ROCK
A humble home was built
On a foundation of faith,
In the Town of Trust,
In the Province of Prudence,
On the rugged rock of
Divine Mercy:
The wild waves awoke
Like ferocious beasts
And beat against the
Formidable fortress,
Wailing with watery fists,
But all to no avail --
Nothing could harm
This holy house of Love.
A HOUSE BUILT ON SAND
A castle of carousing was built
On a lazy beach in
The City of Cool,
In the Province of Popular,
On the slippery sand of
Foolish fragile fear:
Then, a voracious tidal wave,
Like a savage swarm of
Paranoid piranha,
Chewed apart the castle,
And a furious flood
Of thick red blood
Poured out in torrents,
Turning the green one red.
