O, Sinful Nudity!

Here's something that puzzles me
about humans on planet earth:
They gleefully start wars
exploit, oppress and kill one another
(preferably their weak, poor or
their women and children –
for these pose no real threat
to the warrior's safety.)
But let a human walk the street
in the nude, let's say,
and society raises a fine uproar
at such horrible immorality!

Within moments the perpetrator
is in a paddy wagon or safely behind bars
to have his mind analyzed
by the world's greatest shrinks.
In some societies, he'll be condemned to death,
in others, never see freedom again.

We oppress, starve, kill, murder:
none of it is wrong if it is done right,
that is, it's government certified,
or the economy demands it,
or God, or Allah, call for it.

But we cannot walk around naked,
or have children out of wedlock
that's perverted and adulterous, you see,
and for that, one surely deserves to die.

So say those who lead us: to where?
To endless war and endless death
to protect their wonderful morals.

If you were from another world,
would you not think this quirk a bit strange?

Well, being a space cadet myself and from another world, I DO find it a bit of a strange quirk!

That's why, I swim in the nude! ~ But when there's nobody else in sight!

I enjoy all of your philosophizing ponderings!
