By Jack Joseph Smith

Clensed This is the way we wanted the Earth Being no other; Scattered with what we would rid ourselves of There where no line is through the ovel; No curve noticed before the beyond We have wanted ourselves in ashes, equally Balancing, even slightly toward, the almost as good in this Earth, as the slaughter Yes; while says age sight can get to the magical rocks "While as a child I was the Saint with the sword" Above the Bible, absolutely in the clouds Those on fire worshiped, again, equally, with the ones in peace Yes, quick and dence is the population of the mind Just for the therefore is the slashing of obstacle, for that only view of yourself

This page of 'Clensed' imagines purification as a violent moral and spiritual sorting.

Clensed, a draft. This is the way we wanted the Earth, scattered with what we would rid ourselves of, no line through the oval, no curve noticed before the beyond. Ashes balanced against the slaughter, the child-saint with the sword above the Bible, literally in the clouds. Those on fire worshiped equally with the ones in peace. A doctrine poem.
