Man's Greatest Contribution

A wonderful person and great poetess Madalyn Beck inspired this poem with her piece "Addicted"

 

Remember when you walk the razors edge

Between innocence and immortality

That once you bleed you can’t get the blood back

And a scar will forever remain.

 

But…

 

Once a crimson drop seeps from your flesh

The soil it taints will forever be

The sacred ground that your soul

Will forever inhabit.

 

Now…

 

When you get the urge to finally

Peel back the skin exposing the truth

Just remember that Adam’s rib

Gave mankind the greatest gift…

 

So…

 

Keep the closet clean by

Letting the bones fall where they may.

brilliant, one of my favorites from you! no skeletons in the closet, I especially loved the lines:
