Clean Being
What is represented below?
I was a clean being
Yet inquisitiveness shook me,
Made me depart.
I was good,
I was kind
I just kibitzed
And lost my due time.
Many existences I was said to have
Yet when I showed my interest
It was the last thing
My eyes ever saw.
Now I'm gone, gone for good
Never more shall I be chased
Never more shall I chase my woolly ball
No more shall cross my path again
And no more misfortunes shall I bring.
