A Little Empathy; with fra lippo lippi

Fra lippo Lippi was driven by hunger
he went and joined the church while younger
for there he got 3 meals a day
and a warm bed on which to lay

He went to vespers and matins out of sheer rigmarole
and delighted in the idle life he claimed to perform
The cloth on his back and the food in his belly
was more a better match than a hungry skelly

But as he grew from a mere boy of eight
he wondered, at what lay outside the gate
at wealth and luxury and forest and tree
he lusted after sweet temptations so free!!

and our dear fra lippo lippi, he smelt on a celebratory eve
the wafts of food, and for the greed of a woman! he slipped down the reeve
as to being caught, satisfied, and at length outside a harem door
the wry fra gave a confession so grave, that twinked the eye of that boorish boor

he called it as he saw it the means for a belly full
and never a vesper he revered nor wu'll
The paintings he made i could talk about
and round we'd go the topic I want throughout.

As a child, now a man, brought up to this
I want to ask why is it a crazed hiss?
that always and ever its sinners we are!
din't god make the man so fleshed and on par?

so why intend then the skin to devour?
or put an apple in edens bower? and told not to touch for even an hour?
he made the temptation! its not the tempters doing
why put it there so we'd be a screwing?

never a comfort in life does it offer
only a promise of eternality proffer
when flesh is a waste then why put it on us?
couldn't man be just soul and no dust?

and as to ever we reach fra lippo's postion
we all find ourself grown up to our parents religion
why is there no choice nor circumstantial evidence
of keeping ones family and choosing ones credence?

I seek such questions and dare not speak
for i will be met by mere 'resolete'
and in that hour be exorcised for un- Christian virtues
and a demonic demise!! pray why fra lippo's option and hues
to choose, to choose a double life of blues? humanity is the only cause!
dont see beyond what's hidden in dream, a blind can do better nor be at loss
to walk the earth with eyes turned on to unseeable stars!!
