A Blank Sheet
A Blank Sheet
They enter blameless into this world, like a blank sheet of paper.
New, fresh, clean, spotless,
Just waiting to be written on,
Who will be the first to write?
Will it be Ms. Incest, Mr. and Mrs. Poverty, Madam Rape to name a few?
Or, maybe Sir Death will sign in before the others do.
