Take It Out

Split that forbidden place open,
Take a peek at what lies inside.
But hold your breath,
For what appears in your sight.

There lies jealousy,
The root of negativity.
Then there’s insecurity,
The mother of unease.

Besides, is judgment,
Derived from insecurity.

At last, hatred,
The devil’s favorite fruit.

Let all the negative emotions surrender,
For they keep on reproducing if they exist.

Forgive all the past mistakes,
Whether it’s theirs or yours.

Wash out the last corner of filth,
Let it all fly away with the wind.

Bring the seed of kindness in,
Allow them to grow beautifully.

By that time, you will finally know,
What a lovely soul that is,
Lying beneath the slough there once was.
