Yes, I Have an Answer

Yes, I  Have an Answer
 
Have not the golden poets
rightly  said
that  what it is
that’s sure to give “us”
any of the rest you claim  
that “man” has always sought
to know
before “he” dies
is love in all its forms
from one corporeal
and wise
to all our needs
who’s often
and so willingly,
within our arms
and in our beds
and not, despite
what a religion’s often
misread scriptures seem
to say,
some airy spirit  
in the sky.
 
Now if you disagree  
that this is true
and that it’s only someone bodiless
who lives up in
a realm celestial
who’s capable of granting “man”
repose,
let alone of any “sort”
I challenge you
to show me why
that I should think it so.
