I Want To Be a Criminal

I want to be a dire criminal against the Dark powers of my times if corruption knocks at my office door I shall shoot it with arrows of my heart Let cheating woo me with her luring eyes bravely I shall assault her with sharp mouth immoral stars, lies, slander destructive gossip in the tombs of rejection I’ll bury them alive When desire for revenge visits me at night I’ll throw him in the blast furnace of sorrow sectarian angel with her persuasive smiles hot scotching water I will pour on her head Let Dark powers arrest and persecute me A criminal to Darkness but free before God
