The sore that will not heal


(C) 2001, Don Mize


Unhappiness,
the sore that will not heal,
spreads infection in the soul,
eats away the heart.

Witch doctor remedies fail,
magic cures
evaporate,
fleeting relief.

The sore must heal
inside out,
the corruption
disappearing

When we clean the wound,
remove the old,
replace the rotten tissue of the soul
with new.
