---------------------------------------------
At one point I believed I were innocent
And I believe I had forgotten what it meant
The the truth suddenly started to reach out
Repent, repent, repent
Trumpets cry out wrangled and wry
Truth that is Heaven sent
Do not deny

Ever so sweet in appearance
Cookies and almonds for no apparent reason
Find that lie, that I, am out of season
In my ghost and heavenly host
That tell me not of a long lost treason
But I must listen and not a breezin
Come tender, do not boast

That power that my life is changed
Learning of my past derranged
Lesson so clearly learned
Focus on what isn't burned
Ashes then become more vaulable than leaves
Hand claspes over my mouth that deceives
And at this truth my spirit grieves

Conclude my mess
Blood splattered in my book
Poisonous lies run in my brook
I see that child I became
And the man I never was
I look to you and now confess
With my mouth I also profess

"I don't deserve to be free
Guilty for what's inside of me
Dingy and dirty
My soul's prostitution
My dirty hands leave a bad name and mark
I am guilty for the sins of my heart
Justice is good when justice is served"

To wrestle is to live; to fight is to love.

"Ashes then become more vaulable than leaves" Great line, rather haunting in fact, in a very interesting write.

Enjoyed and intrigued by this poem. For some reason, the second stanza stuck out at me as more - cryptic? something - than the rest of the poem in tone.

Thank you. Actually the 2nd stanza is kinda weird.

When the chain that holds my wallet so
Tight and snug is broken,
Do I find the truth
That I really own nothin.

This is the second of yours I have read, and I think it is so interesting. It's as if these words speak of duality of soul. Very intriguing write to say the least! I really enjoy your writes!
