Hello mojobrain - I really like and appreciate your thought process and answer above. Makes a lot of sense to me but this one was more of a "play on words" than a straightforward "what am I". Hope you're not too disappointed with my answer. On 2/2/2010 at 1:00 AM, DudleyDude said: Damn, Wilson. Great solve. I agree, DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
plainglazed
I am one
Who begs forgiveness without a sound
Repeatedly yet with no hint of success
An attempt to shun despite the emptiness
To gather without celebrating body and blood
And in foriegn territory when she is gone
I'm all by myself without a single sole
Then forsaking mankind is the answer to my prayers
And I am one
