Ink, from the pen I wrote orders.
Ink, on the pages of college essays.
Ink like stains from oil, when fixing my bike chain.
Ink like oil, from changing my car lubricant.
Ink stains left handed writers, as we scrape our hands across our writing.

 

Ink on my heart, from all the evil in the world.
Ink on my soul, for those I have lost.
Ink in my mind, for the corruption I have been exposed to.
Ink on my conscious, for the negative influences in life.
Ink in my brain, from all the persecution in the world.
