Cleanse my soul

rid it of all its excesses...
just give me what i need and no more,
this animal self,
transform into the soul of an angel,
turn my hunger into a love of justice,
turn my hatred into perseverence,
save me from myself
now that i have saved myself.

you are true,
your morals and your soul are one,
make me like unto you
and let me burn with a love for goodness,
strike down those who slaughter the souls of young children,
let the silent rooms of children
glitter with the jewels of heaven,
do not let them scream so darkly into the night,
do not let them sleep in the sea of darkness,
let them hear your voice and be comforted,
comfort those who are in need.
