PURGATORY
caught between.
here and now.
where and how.
live for the awe.
live for all the wow.
taste life for all it's pow.
or live with a temperance to endure.
like a virgin so pure.
weight of Indulgence to collapse you for sure.
pain staking days of righteousness pass you in a blur.
the ways of the world.
beckons you to be a bad boy or girl..
your conscience tells you go ahead and take it for a whirl.
just don't get caught between here and there.
