Silence of the Psalms

My muse is gone, 
good riddance to the witch
And don’t come back,
you extraneous lil b’itch
Off to prey on others,
pour napalm on their souls
Sublimate good poetry,
burn stanzas full of holes 

Infiltrate kind minds,
corrupt joyous prayer
Tear apart covenants,
seed corrugated despair 
Yeah my muse is gone,
in search of new hosts 
To spread vile poison,
through every new post

I’m an angel once again,
deliverance fills each line
A paragon for good, 
no more evil rhymes
Champion of the soup,
clear broth I’ll deliver 
Served with fava beans,
Chianti, and my muses liver

# Her name is Clarice #

Heya Kim, not really a message, more a play on words, with a little intrigue, thank you so much for looking in, cheers David
