tabula rasa
by Michele Schottelkorb
a mind untarnished by knowledge~
refreshing, dont you think?
{thank you for your judgment call
on my ambivalent behalf
your righteous benevolence
would put the almighty itself to shame}
so here we stand
blank tablets without a shot in the dark
or, perhaps
the flip side really is greener
to look outside and see
what the world was meant to be
{without your seal of approval}
I think Ill be okay
and make it through a brand new day
in fact, I do believe its true~
tabula rasa {goodbye to you}
