P U R G E

At birth,
A child was born and was accompanied with a brain.
The brain —controller of thoughts— was tabula rasa
A clean slate, the brain was made; pure and clean.
The seat of intelligence, sensation and creativity.

At development,
The child began to grow and so did the brain.
Until it started conceiving thoughts; good and bad.
Dramatically, the brain did pick up this and that
Precept upon precept, thoughts upon thoughts:

"Most morally upright people I know live in penury;
I would rather be evil; anything for the money: theft, fraud.
Emeka's heart was broken, Tolulope broke her heart;
He was cheated on by her; 'Love na scam!', I know.
I failed this exam, I can never pass examinations,
This happened to me...
