Skin
My boy's hand
Breached in secret
Below the skin
The out-of-body
It entered
And now shows
Red boils peeling
Virus oh virus
Under his taught skin
Pools, festers, waits
And erupts from boils
Of unnatural sludge
Over his sincere efforts
To love life as it is
His skin will hold
His skin will hold
My love's eyes
Blaze sincere
Hold me safe
From a world unknown
I bank this gaze
Into faith
Edging out room
For doubt oh doubt
Under my soft skin
Pools, festers, waits
And erupts from boils
Of unnatural sludge
Over my sincere efforts
To make a good life
My skin will hold
My skin will hold
The truth exists
Not frail but steadfast
We know
We all know
We search to find
A proven truth
That governs all
But lies oh lies
In our real world
Pool, fester, wait
And erupt from boils
Of unnatural sludge
Over our sincere efforts
To see life as it is
Our skin will hold
Our faith will hold
We wouldn't live
As we do
Without our faith
In truth, discovery
Belief in bonds
We must believe
For without
The deceit below
In our stretched world
Pools, festers, waits
And erupts from boils
Of unnatural sludge
Over our sincere efforts
To discover life as it is
Lies are not of this world
They're not of this world
Truth is the glue
Our time here is real
Nature is truth
laws unwavering
Cells obey laws
Forces that don’t lie
Searching reveals truth
But deceit oh deceit
Insincere intentions
Pool, fester, wait
And erupt from boils
Of unnatural sludge
Over our faithful efforts
To see this life as it is
Our hearts will hold
Because they must
Our wonderous skin
Regenerates, heals
Soft and supple
Alert and constant
Touches others
Wards the virus
But offers nothing
Faced with ideas
Ideas of harmony
Dreams of conquest
Erupt from our mouths
Pooling in our minds
Equality misogyny
Justice and peace
Ideas are not truth
But we have no other way
