do saints create the miracles
or miracles, the saints ?
is it real life photography ?
or scenes that someone paints ?

some things, coincidental
will be judged as acts of God
and how they document these facts
i find extremely odd

for man believes what's in his heart
much more than in his mind
the power of suggestion
can confuse them till they're blind

as history's unfolding
many souls are deemed as saints
we've added up their positives
divided by their "ain'ts"

we've multiplied their purity
subtracted all their taints
do saints create the miracles
or miracles, the saints ?

I love the theme. I wonder often about the actual personalities and flaws of heroes from our past. Anyway, great work!

The original meaning of the word 'saint', and one we use because it is the Bible usage, means, simply 'a believer, one called holy because they are now dedicated for God to use, forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ, washed through faith in his shed blood'. So, all who trust him are called saints. (and they will still have flaws and stumbles until heaven, but are being made better.) Rh
