Hung Up

Almost four decades and still wondering...

why nudity is so bad
that a woman's breast would cause sin
when God made it and it's man who thinks it's evil
that skin made bare could turn men
into monsters and animals
so we clothe in animals we'd slaughtered and be civil

why death is such a bane
that even men of power pay fortunes to avoid it
when everyone dies one way or the other
and everyone born will meet death
and sink into her arms like a long lost lover

why loving could hurt so much
that men and women go crazy
avoiding it, yet yearning for it
that an act of love could be beautiful
yet be shunned as sin by those who see it

so wisdom of age has denied me this
yet this ignorance is so far from bliss...
