Unclear Distinction
The things familiar
Stripped away
Blurred Views
Tainted Mind
Confusion Surrounding
Nothing is certain
Everything corrupted
Thoughts affected
Heart torn
Mystification known
Feelings shown
Hostility displayed
Faults exhibited
Blame untaken
Problems unclaimed
Hurt conveyed
Unfixed, it stays
The familiar is gone
Unfound, Undiscovered
The known has vanished,
No longer remaining
“This is the Door of Humility, originally built in the seventh century.” The guide droned on, ignoring the muttered curses of the tall Americans who bumped their heads and the protests of the elderly who were already bent double with age. Among the later was a quiet woman with paper-white hair and gleaming onyx eyes.

Before the turn of the century divorce did not exist. Married couples would never consider breaking the vows they made at the altar, for moral reasons or not. As time moved on however, the U.S. government gradually allowed more and more grounds for divorce until eventually couples had no need to justify leaving each other. Now, about 50\% of married couples in America eventually get divorced and that includes couples inside the church.1 People in America no longer understand love or what it looks like.
