Array ( [sid] => 57221 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Wash Your Hands [time] => 2004-07-22 20:33:45 [hometext] => This is basically a poem about feeling guilty and feeling unclean after not raising a hand to stop an act that your aware is wrong. Not personal. [bodytext] => A crime of inaction
You sat by and watched
Covered your eyes with your hands
As passion broke free, and betrayed reason

Finally you raised a hand
Once it was all said and done
But that was just a ploy
You knew it was too late

Now the blood flows
And though you did nothing in truth
You can’t escape unscathed
The stream of blood, takes you in too

Wash your hands
Wash off your sin
Wash off that blood, wash off your guilt
Wash your hands, they’ll never come clean [comments] => 3 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Tarukar [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Wash Your Hands

Topic: DarkPoetry

A crime of inaction
You sat by and watched
Covered your eyes with your hands
As passion broke free, and betrayed reason

Finally you raised a hand
Once it was all said and done
But that was just a ploy
You knew it was too late

Now the blood flows
And though you did nothing in truth
You can’t escape unscathed
The stream of blood, takes you in too

Wash your hands
Wash off your sin
Wash off that blood, wash off your guilt
Wash your hands, they’ll never come clean

YAY!!! Will has joined YPDC!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! **claps hands and hops on one foot til that foot is tired and then tries the other one**

But hey... I've read this one before and I like it. It's very... edgy, but it has a good rhythmic flow to it that I also enjoy.

WELCOME TO YPDC, WILLY!!!!!!

Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea
