Soap. Today I bathed in black water, Rinsed with the sewage we call society, and dried off in governmental regulations. You call yourselfs clean based on the record of your criminality and the color of your skin? You use a plastic kind of soap the produces no clean but like a camera it captures and preserves what's inside. So you can play bath time with your bubbles, pretending you own yourselves for a night, but after your bath comes bed time. You will wake up tomorrow and find your still owned by the government and, your soap was just plastic. So you need to bathe again. Don't forger to lather, rinse, and repeat. Chris burk
