Good Intentions

"Believe in something, now," 

they say.

They say, 

"Look towards the golden son 

and wonder how to make it right." 

They say, 

"Release your hand from the vice," 

as they laugh and laugh— 

"Let the blood flow clear as water; 

feel it cleanse the muddled soul." 

"Find the redemption that you seek 

within the very heart of yourself," 

they say, 

and laugh throughout the night.
