Mankind feels the need
to shower or bathe each day.
It causes me to wonder...
What they strive to wash away?

What other creature imagines such filth?
No other carries such discontent...
That they remove contact with nature,
then spray on nature's scent.

Is it because of Man's TRUE Nature,
buried deep beneath the dirt,
that he scrubs away at the form of clay
and sprays a fragrant squirt?

Visit the tomb at dawning,
in your ritual of grief,
to wash and anoint the body
of the dead that lies beneath.

Much is told by the actions
of those in death, who know it not,
but strive to keep away debris
from their precious private plot.

You can scrub and you can scour
with all your might, for what its worth,
but no amount of water will uncover
what lies beneath the earth.

This action is not that of BEAST
And although "beast" is now your prison...
Only MAN alone can plough the Earth...
Until the Son of Man has risen.
