The Body

my, what beautiful arms
arms that can kill a brother
arms that can labor for the sake of oneself
arms that can wield fists and the brutality of a beast

AH, SUCH GLORIOUS HANDS
HANDS WITH WHICH TO GENTLY TOUCH
HANDS WITH WHICH TO HEAL
HANDS WITH WHICH TO CARRY A CHILD
HANDS WITH WHICH TO BUILD AND GIVE
HANDS WITH WHICH TO STROKE A LOVER
HANDS WITH WHICH TO GIVE AWAY

my, what wonderful fingers
fingers that can clutch a knife
fingers that can ring a throat
fingers that can destroy the world
with a few simple keystrokes

AH, SUCH AN ARTFUL MIND
INVESTED WITH A CONSCIENCE
BLESSED WITH INTELLECT
GIFTED WITH THE POWER TO LOVE

my, what a remarkable stomach
always empty and never full
unending desire that turns so readily to hate

my, what a delightful body
with the power to destroy
with the desire to hate
with the power to decieve
with the power to be decieved

AH, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EYE
FOR IT HOLDS MY GREATEST ADDITION
THE SIMPLE TEAR
