I need to cleanse myself To purge my system To clear these thoughts To start over Don’t do this to me Don’t leave me all alone Don’t say this to me Don’t cast your first stone Can’t you see I’m just A little boy Won’t you please Allow this one little toy? Run Run, little one Find your way to the sun Take whatever you need To get by if you feel You need Times like this My mind begins to rot There are things I am convinced I am not First I feel sanctified, Then just mortified I am now too stupid To realize Somebody please Purify my flesh Strip me down Cleanse me |

A good mix of rhyming free-verse...with a lot of thought behind it...and a lot of pondering to come of it... yes, this pleases me.... |

Well, besides throwing everything in a pile and setting it on fire....I don't know how else to have a cleansing free for all.  But you are not stupid...you are human. Thanks for sharing!Sincerely, Rwood |
