My Death’s Creed
The time has come to cleanse my plate,
and account for consequences which sealed my fate.
I wipe the slate and bid thee adieu
of the pains and sufferings inflicted by you.
Farewell to promises I couldn’t keep,
fueled by dreams of prosperity which hindered my sleep.
Farewell to dreams that once told of riches and glory,
replaced by spoiled fruit harvested with tourmoil and worry.
Farewell to negative thoughts spoken outloud and from within.
I now douse this Light and account for my sins.
My “NU” Creed (Rebirth)

I stand before you as this creature of “nu”,
pursuit of fortunes that have now come due.
My torso is shielded with armour confirmed through scripture,
while my arms and hands are the wings that shapes this picture.
Mind and eyes set on ascension,
ears are void of negative attention.
Voice is silent and void of speak,
for my actions are obvious of what it is I seek.
Skin is cleansed and laced of light,
which shines the path of my guided flight.
Heart beats calmly to the sound of the Savior,
who holds my Faith and applies my Favor.
For the time has come for my dreams to shine.
And take of hold of that which is rightfully mine.
