Cover the nakedness of our thoughts

Poem By Reginold Jacob

Live suffocated, I tell you,

Just as you wear the mask,

This is a sophisticated world,

Suffocation is just a part.

Only a mad man can walkout naked,

All others have to wear clothes,

Clothes that hide our nakedness,

Lest we may be exposed.

What a beautiful world it is,

Considering nakedness a shame,

Hatred, malice, intolerance,

All are a part of the game.

Cover the nakedness of our thoughts,

Cover the nakedness of our being,

Cover my Christ, I pray thee,

Cover me in thy sheen.
