An Excavation

For good foundations, one must excavate - removing rocks or muck or sediment. Without this process, how can one create a solid base on an impediment? “Build not on sand,” a Holy One once said. (I paraphrase; I think you get the gist.) Remove the dirt and grit inside your head. You cannot have a good life if a tryst with things immoral occupies your time. Some habits too ingrained require a blast to get them out! But even if some crime has weighed you down, this need not have to last. When things must go, imagine them as rocks, and excavate those dreadful stumbling blocks. July 3, 2021 for Edward Ibeh's This Or That, Vol 4 Poetry Contest sorry I keep making typos all the time!!
