Poem detailed explanation:


So this was inspired by the movie "the saint", it's one of my favorite movies, so if you haven't seen it yet please do so and tell me what you think.
So to start, saints are a well known thing, it's something people can relate to, and this is important when thinking about a poem to choose something that most people know. Saints are usually described as people, so that's why I started by asking the question: Are they a myth or are they a reality?
Also saints I could almost compare them to angels, because they're everything that is good, they're full of love, they take tremendous care of people, and they feel the pain of the people they care about and want to protect. They're also pretty wise because they have lived for long years, and they can know if someone is trying to trick them or not.
The next paragraph is a just a way to repeat that they only have good sides, but with different words. They do everything possible to help others, and by helping others they're also helping themselves, because the joy of others becomes their joy. Again to make sure that the reader understand the importance of all the good a saint is I repeat again with different words that he is just so happy that he radiates happiness, he's so kind that people can know it only by looking at him, and he just loves everyone because every life is sacred. And everything that is good in him he wants to share it with the world, because there are just not enough happy people, not enough loving people, and not enough helping people in the world.
