Skeletons and graveyards of our minds

Bury thoughts and actions regretted yesterday

And dig up those of today

Endless workers of darkened thoughts

They themselves must be buried in their own tombs

And be forever sealed from temptation

If we are to continue to exist in civilized humanity

Though temptation still exists

As the skeletons of greed and inhumanity

Continue to dig at our minds
