Vile the Salt that Stains
Do unto others as you wish them to do to you
Words said true
Think it through;
Now what do they mean to you?
As surely as the sky is blue
I practice this great virtue
Yet conforming was the hue
So with this I flew
Away from the fear and I renew
Thoughts to be long overdue
With rue I forgot what I believed to be true
And so now I begin anew
I construe now what was waxed
Melted down and one with Pax
A debut now queued
To be illuminated and true
With this I find my personal sanctity
So why make me plead my insanity?
Beg of me to return
Beg of me to pursue
Yet I only wonder why you are you
I tried to inquire, yet it ended in disdain
You tried to make it my bane
Attempted to reverse my brain
Pain you sought to distill in me
Now you are as vile as the words that flow from your mouth
The noxious vile fumes that erode your logic
The bile produced in waste
For now you speak in hate
You speak in hate of my own very fate
You speak in tenses and perspective
Of your own divine
So here lie the line
Let it not be crossed until time
Just as the moon
And the brine
When the tides have turned
And the hate has burned
Then and then only
May you deliver my fate
