I Took A Shower Today

I took a shower today
I felt the need for expiation
For salvation

It was worth a shot

Nothing else that I do
Or have done
Seems to be working 

I have come to believe
That sin
In all of its many
 Manifestations and variations
 Is at the root of all disease

Health is wealth
Sickness is sin 

After the shower
I felt better
Cleaner
As for the expiation of
All of my sins

No
None of that
But as I said before
It was worth a shot

PS -Where is John the Baptist
When you really need him?
