Hi! Have you noticed
That the new born of all species
are beautiful when witnessed
for the first few infant days;
but then the beauty fades
when further away from purity
and truth they sway;
until ugliness creeps in and
age makes bitter
the soul as ***** as litter
since having lost its glitter
the mind doth turn
to thoughts not befitting
a soul so pure
that turns unworthy
of the divinity within.

No lotion, no cleansing agent
can bring that glow
that doth from within flow
when the soul is maintained
in a state of purity
and humility so low
that enables the noblest charity
of shedding the ego
which causes arrogance and vanity.
Therefore, let me myself clean,
Myself of thoughts so selfish and mean.
Oh God! Let me glow.
