I don't like reading poems or prose
when they use words that A.I. chose.
They really should post warning signs
when writing wasn't done by minds
so we could prune and #purify
our pages from undue A.I.

They had been sent there to #purify the water system, but they soon turned their attention to the rest of the town

Rot creeped into every corner, and the filth started with the inhabitants

There was only one way to cleanse such a place

So the inferno was set

A lot of blood was spilled on this ground. It dyed the soil rust orange for ten straight years. But the rain was more stubborn than death. One drop at a time it washed away the devastation, if not the memories. Not to #purify, but to restore. Now the grass grows as green as it ever has done.

With every new dawn
Time to purify the soul
Welcome a fresh start

Every so often, some madman, or religious zealot, took it upon themselves to attempt to #purify the Underside. Fire was usually the preferred weapon, and people died, yes, but the Underside always survived.

Ilyna had lived through two blazes, she expected the next would get her, or not.

The religious icon was now, after a great deal of fighting, in Rory’s hands. Or Esme’s, rather.

Now he only had to #purify it, return it to its place in the temple, back through the monsters and demons, and say a little prayer.
Not a problem. How hard could it possibly be. The god willing.

The Culvert

Silt-yellow light
bre
aks
over concrete lip,
a sharp haze of
ozone
and
exhaust
refract
ing through
the river’s scum.

Water doesn't wash
it holds the glare,
until heat-shimmer
purifies
the bank's broken edge
into a single
streak of white.

Dylan hated the petty, everyday work of the captain, now having to head down to engineering to discuss replacements for the carbon dioxide scrubbers, needed to #purify the air and keep this boat liveable.

Of course, going down there had its benefits, but when he arrived, she was it there.

Who will #purify
what remains of our guilty sins?
GOD refuse - also.

( 🔎 Nothing else dares punish incurable faults 🔍 )

You stare out the window as the UFOs approach. The Ch'glub armada, here to #purify the earth of the stain of humanity. The army of zombies created by their biological weapons encircles the building.

The HR manager closes the blinds and says "So, tell me about your five-year plan."
