Purify

One of my slightly better poems. Rhyme scheme isn't too great, though.

Put down your weapon
For it knows only violence.
And if you kill me
You will simply rot in the lonely silence.

Let me ask why
You choose pain over peace.
And whenever you're tested
You can only cheat.

You wish to take lives.
But your life has taken you
To a place of no return.
The only way back
To your place of origin
Is to purify what you've become.

Look at the mirror,
At the beast you are now.
If you will not purify yourself
Then you do not deserve your crown!
