The Character Virus

I don't have time to write a description right now

You think you're so attractive
Like some brightly shining star
I've begun daily washing
My eyes to see what you are

Your infection's reached critical levels,
Wreaking havoc on the way you love
It's a pride-induced type of sepsis
I wouldn't touch you with gloves

Lest I too catch The Character Virus
I don a face mask to walk through the streets
Meditation slows the spreading infection
But there's only one cure for the disease

One must begin daily washing
One's eyes to clearly see.
Then examine deep within one's soul
For any tumors that are budding

Grasp firmly one's scalpel
Clench teeth, make an incision
Habituate daily self-surgery
If to be healthy you've made the decision
