Never forget

Never forget that every symphony, fresco, dome and arch,
each insight into heaven, hell, the universe,
each formula, equation, every foray to the stars,
the soul, the mind, each epic tale, each tragedy,
the hopes and dreams of happiness,
each vision of God
is carried around inside an animal skin.
Sweat, sperm, saliva, piss and shit.
Greed, lust and hunger that can never get their fill.
Don’t be too surprised when they begin to kill.
