Strolling along these Spanish streets
In old Pollenca Town
The buildings are softly whispering

A

Cacophony

Of

Sound

Infused in bricks and mortar
A myriad of doors
Unlock Mallorcan histories
Egyptians, Romans, Ottomans and Moors
Battles fought
Blood is shed
United together they buried their dead

Me…I sit atop the Calvario Steps
Easel and brush in hand
Watching the sinners climb to the top
From my vantage witness stand

Will they be atoned?

Well… that’s not for me to say

I just paint the pictures...

I really enjoyed the first part of this - maybe you should end it a 'I just paint the pictures.' After that, for me, it just gets weaker. Maybe others will have different views.
