BODY AND SOUL

In Adam’s quest for the spring of salvation,

He accidentally drank a Cartesian potion;

Thus he forgot the story of creation,

That he is a composite of body and soul.




In the deepest abyss of Adam’s being,

A specter is continuously haunting him;

Being poisoned by Descartes’ idealism,

His niche and beliefs were distorted and shaken.




Being convinced that soul and body are different entities,

He only seeks answers on how to uplift his inner being;

Thus, he forgot that bodily existence is on the same footing,

That it also needs equal care and understanding.




Everyone’s existence is truly a call,

An invitation, a conviction to tend not just only the soul;

For one cannot exist without the other,

For body and soul is in union with each other.
