Alphaneumeric Picaso paints a shrine,
one to house the mongrels and intellectual hobos.
Manna hangs just out of reach on concertina wire,
and poison swirls in the holy water.
AlphaOmega Dali erects the walls
around the inner sanctum for the solaceless.
Electrified porcupine quills line the papal keyhole,
buzzing with the morbidity of modern religion.
aRt is gOd, God is beaUty, bEauty iS dangerous
within Danger lies deAth, withiN death lies peaCE....

Wonderful job. Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted hidden messages within the stickies. Bravo for this. Bravo...even though I have no idea what it means. lol. Awesome work.

Sticky caps can add to a poem when not over-utilized. I am happy to see that you understand that thin line! This is simply brilliant. I like the fact that you used the last line as the title as I think it is the most thought provoking. Lovely job & best of luck in the contest!
