The Art of Life

Life is a buttercup
Pretty when it's young
ragged and dull when it's old

If it could speak
it would tell us memories
But quietly it turns to compost

It may have lit up the chin of a child
But plucked
It is killed

Did it feel pain?
(some say plants feel pain)
That need not worry us now

God gave us animals to eat,
and plants too

Plants to heal
And some animals as pets
To mend our hearts

We should take exercise
And not eat too much

And if we do we should
Try to exercise more

To help keep ourselves healthy

There are many things you could do
Ride a bike
Or a pony

Or take a walk by the stream.

You could tidy your house

Or take an active job.

You could join a gym,
and get some lessons

Take some classes

Any sort of movement,
if natural and unforced

could be beneficial

You own your body

As you are connected to it by your brain

So you have the right to call it yours

If you took your brain out

And put it into someone else's body

Then that would be your new body

Your old body would be forsaken

You have rejected your old body

So you should accept the new body

Be happy with it,

Connect with it

And care for it

You can all do this

But it is best to look after your
current body first

As God has given this to us
we should try to respect it.

But shit happens.
