"Why do people do impure things?" Because what is pure is disputed. Impurity often takes the form of beauty or passion that enlivens my life Placing the special in heart That was once an empty lot. "So why is it called impure?" Because beauty and passion, like other things, can cross the line of moderation And can take the forms of Betterment away if carried Into excess. Thus, it is not so much that There is impurity as there is extremism. This can shape a life into one That has stopped or not begun Any search for the depths of life. It is not so much that there May be impurity But the lack of connections Between souls and neighbors Which form a community That takes responsibility For their own spiritual, mental, Physical, and material betterment.
