The Purity
Your talk has not the purity
Your justice has not the purity
Your law has not the purity
Your mind has not the purity
Your life has not the purity
Your thoughts
Have also not the purity
Even your lies,
Your shamelessness
Have not the purity and truth
That cross its limits too
Finally, why do you live
And for whom
Are that not sufficient
For you
To drown and die?
At least in that context
Be pure and fair
To prove.
