With sadness, 
I threw out NAÏVE 

I emptied into the GARBAGE DUMP OF LIFE, 
"HATRED" and his brothers "KILLER" and "GREEDY." 
I disinfected over tired sisters "INJUSTICE " and "JEALOUSY,"
briskly mopping up spilled "PRIDE" and "ANGER,"

sprinkling out the sweet smells of "ENDURANCE" and "PERSISTENCE"

in my family RUG. 
I dusted away "ENVY" and watched it become particles in the air,
overtaken with "SELF ESTEEM."  
Quickly, I took down those dirty blinds of "PREJUDICE" and "IGNORANCE,"

replacing them with shades of "ACCEPTANCE" for every skin tone color of mankind.
Opening my windows up to "HONESTY" for a breath of fresh "THOUGHT" and "HOPE,"

I watched them breeze back my curtains of "DETERMINATION" and "STRENGTH," 
getting a nostril full of "HAPPINESS," while breathing in "INTELLIGENCE."

I straightened my wall plaques of "AWARENESS" and "SENSITIVITY,"

that sometimes gets slanted.
I watered my plants of "KNOWLEDGE,"

proud to see new roots sprouting.
Finally, 
I sprayed my Soul’s House with the aroma of "PEACE" and "UNDERSTANDING."

BUT . . . 
As I stand in my front door,
peering down the road to "OPPORTUNITY" and "SATISFACTION,"

I know that, though today my House is clean,
tomorrow again, I must sweep with the broom of "REPETITION."
