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?
