Body Is A Martyr Poem by Patti Masterman

Body Is A Martyr

Rating: 4.0


The body is a martyr
By and by, by and by.
No use to beg and barter
By and by, by and by.

A spendthrift, we all use it
By and by, by and by.
Contort it and abuse it
By and by, by and by.

So on the stake, we leave it
By and by, by and by.
Lament, only to grieve it
By and by, by and by.

An aging poem. Yes, the body is exactly that...but a wonderful one as well.
