PRESCRIBING PURITY

Innocence compromised and masked by grace,Clinging to the mere illusions of the past.All bestowed upon written laws,Its recipients wallowing deeply in it.Having followed them to the letter,Change is inevitable—And so does the universal feeling of love.The concept of love has eluded mankind,Used as a tool of trade by many,Confused as infatuation by some.They misinterpret this […]

Court in Session

The Judge walks in, and immediately the atmosphere shifts. It was already tense before but now it’s heavier so much so that you find yourself unable to breathe. You want to take a deeper gasp but you’re afraid to make a sound, scared to move, scared to even disturb the air around you lest you […]
