An intruder on holy ground
Footprints defile
Leaving indents that fade with time
A redundant reminder of mortality
Watch as they gather
Why are you here?
You bear no resemblance to the dead
You don’t belong among the faithful
The ever-present
Those that see it every day
Forced to find pain in what they CAN’T see
Left without the sound of footsteps
While yours leave tracks
Defiling
Keep walking
Distance yourself from this
But know that you will be back
And one day, you will belong
