Changes

Good morning, good morning,
       I'm giving no scorning,
But just for the record
       Let this be a warning.
I'm through with the hatred.
       I'm through with the pain.
I'm through with the comments
       That drive me insane,
I've had it with lying.
       I've had it with greed. 
I've had it with planting
       An unholy seed.

Then I packaged it all,
       Threw it high on the shelf,
As I looked in the mirror
       And spoke to myself.

Yes, Casarah, I think it's a good idea to just take a close look now and then to see if there is anything that needs to be changed and strive to make things better. Thank you so much, my friend.... Robert.
