The Dirtiest Place On Earth

by boatrocker Gilmore  
6/18/2011 / Poetry

It is natural for a man to keep his things clean.
For not to clean what he has is not good but obscene.

What if a man refuses to carry the garbage out of his house,
Wouldn't it be possible to attract a creature like a mouse?

What if he never washes his dishes that he uses everyday,
Wouldn't it be impossible to keep dangerous bacteria away?

What if washing his own body is a rule that he has forgotten,
Wouldn't the scent that follows him be similar to something that is rotten?

But what if man trashes his mind with filthy images and sounds that he never cleans?
Wouldn't he be attracted to a lifestyle that is ungodly because of his daily routine?

Our first washing occurs when we are baptize but it doesn't end there.
We should all take time often to ask God to clean our minds-we must become aware.

A daily cleaning of the mind can keep the demons away.
Through prayer and reading God's word, a filthy mind won't stay.

Let's ask God for the mind of Christ, so we can live in victory over the worldly trash.
Let's then cherish this mind and keep it clean to prevent it from ending up as worldly ash.
