Quip

A robber with
No heart to kill,
An honest man
Without the will


A broken sword
No beast to fight,
A star without
The light to shine


A plummet from
The cliff of choice,
A screaming soul
Without a voice


A journey on
The path to Hell,
A church without
A fun'ral bell


A righteous mind
On culture's trial,
A sinner pure
In denial


A closet full
Of many masks,
A test of faith
No one can pass


A treasure hunt
Without a map,
A river flows
With no turn back
