We scrub or bodies and our souls, forgetting ............we live among live, with live and living things, scrub them away, and all is dead, including you!
Repeat!
Hygenics over done
like baking in the sun
remember where you from
from dust to dust you come
You scrub and scrub
make sure no bug
life's energy you suck
all living things that stuck
Your eyes, your ears, your nose
your body and your clothes
God knows where else your foes
aha, between your toes
You gargle and you brush
take care of every flush
and places that are hush
discreetly with a blush
But alas, you're now so clean
so shiny full of sheen
from head to toe to spleen
turned ugly, and so mean
In haste laid friend and foe to waste
look so sallow, so like paste
so pure and almost chaste
in balm should be encased
No thought if, you gallantly mistreated
those that weed, and weeded
those that tweed and tweeted
you thought they weren't needed
The pursuit of perfection strangles the living. Picture life in a perfectly hygenic world. The normal resistance to bugs is stripped from the chemicals used to eradicate them-every one in the pursuit of a perfect world without the threat of contamination. So then, breathing and being exposed to normal atmosphere would kill you. So you'd need to live indoors in an engineered environment. Oh the "perfect" may get their wish yet. You have inspired me, Jasmin. This is a fantastic write!
Very familiar writing Jas!
I love your heart and your humor!
